Pasta puttanesca and a garden salad. Easy easy easy. But if you don’t like olives, this isn’t for you. This was a very strong flavored dish. The fact it was so quick and so easy gives it extra points.
RECIPES:
Stir-Fry Rice Noodles w/ Beef & Spinach
Stir-fried rice noodles with beef and spinach, miso soup, and a garden salad. This was really good. I only used half of the sriracha paste it called for and I found that to be plenty of heat for me. I give this one high marks.
RECIPES:
Spring Linguine w/ Basil
Spring linguine with basil, and a garden salad with blue cheese, dried cranberries, and walnuts. I made this last summer with fresh basil from the garden. It doesn’t call for much, but I definitely missed having it this time around. Otherwise, this one is quick and easy, and very good.
RECIPES:
Mini Farfalle w/ Roasted Peppers, Onions, Feta, & Mint
Mini farfalle with roasted peppers, onions, feta, and mint, and a garden salad. This dish also has raisins and pine nuts. You’d think with all that crazy stuff in there it’d be a pretty flavorful dish. But they all seemed to blend pretty well together because nothing really stuck out too much. I went with rotini instead of the mini farfalle. It was from the 20 minute meals section and it actually was really fast.
RECIPES:
Mushroom Pasta
To conclude Noodle Week, I went with mushroom and asparagus pasta and a garden salad. The recipe didn’t call for asparagus, but I added it anyways. That was good eatin’.
