God some pasta sounds good...

I had some Kraft mac n' cheese last night.

We eat a lot of pasta with different veggies sautéed in garlic and olive oil.

Broccoli
Brussel sprouts
Eggplant
Asparagus

Also white beans and canned peas doctored up are a favorite of mine.


All of these topped with generous amount of whatever grate able cheeses we have in the fridge. Doesn't have to be Parmesan, I like Romano more.

I had a $25 plate of spaghetti with a meaty bolognese at a restaurant this past weekend. Best pasta I've ever had

All hail the flying spaghetti monster, blessed be the pastafarians

We make two pasta dishes quite regularly, as the sauce can be made the night before and left to marinade.
Both are light meals and full of flavor.
One is rotini with a sauce consisting of a red wine vinegar base with halved cherry tomatoes, olive oil, 1/2" cubed fresh mozzarella, fresh Basel leaves off the plant, and salt and pepper to taste. Let the sauce sit for a couple hours in the fridge, turning every 1/2 hour or so if you want. Delicious!
The other one is my favorite, and consists of more olive oil base, jarred artichokes (drained)and roasted red peppers, diced black olives, garlic, and salt and peppered to taste.
Great the next day cold also. Tonnes of flavor.

Just made some simple marinara sauce.

Two onions, softened in a pot with two tablespoons of butter.
Four cloves of garlic
Two green Fresno chiles
Five roma tomatoes - de-skinned
Two cans of whole Roma tomatoes
Three rashes of bacon

Onions first, then garlic and chiles. Drizzle of olive oil and the de-skinned tomatoes. Then the canned tomatoes.

Solid pinches of rosemary, thyme, and oregano. Good amount of pepper. Bit of salt. Two tablespoons olive oil.

Cook for 20 minutes or so. Any longer and it becomes too much of a goomba sauce.

I eat it with bread, but can toss it over pasta.

I actually just started making this super-basic thing for my lunches every day (protein and good carbs). I use a pound of organic ground turkey, and brown it with a little olive oil, garlic, 1-2 tbsp of Hungarian hot paprika/salsa type of stuff, and then toss it together with a bunch of organic whole wheat pasta. Sprinkle parmesean over the top, and it's amazing.

My pasta go-to is garlic and butter shrimp with sauteed mushrooms, bow-tie pasta and some roasted garlic alfredo sauce. Lasts for a couple of days if you use one whole of everythin; box of pasta, jar of alfredo, bag of shrimp and thing of baby Bella mushrooms.

never use store bought, jarred sauces. Everything I use contains no preservatives; lean ground turkey, fresh produce and seasonings. Combine that with whole grain pasta, so good. Ballin on a college budget.
