So I thought I would share it!
Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes & Arugula
1. I had some tomatoes and arugula in my fridge left over from other recipes….
2. I wanted something plain but with flavor!..
3. I had babies at my feet and needed something fast before all craziness broke loose. :)
(the chicken shown was just seasoned with Emeril’s and then frizzled up in a little olive oil.)
Cook up your pasta..Use your favorite kind.. Drain..Return to pot
I wanted something simple sauce wise..
just olive oil, a little butter, and a splash of cream. salt and pepper.
Then I tossed in some arugula and let it soften in the pasta.
DELISH!
The hubby was happy..
I was happy..
the babies ate it sliced up..
and the produce didn’t spoil in the fridge..
VICTORY!

November 12, 2011 at 4:33 pmThis is a great idea!!! Love that you used stuff so it wouldn’t spoil in the fidge…happens every week in my house! I just have one question did you put the pasta in a pan to cook the pasta with the sauce?? Or did you just mix it in a bowl together? I can’t wait to make this for my family!
