Spinach Tomato Bow Tie Pasta
I’m curious, how do you handle things when your plan is turned upside down? Me? Well I can go two ways. I either get very anxious, moody and snappy or I can let it roll right off me and move on. My son tells me I am unpredictable. I say good! I don’t always want to be the same way.
I guess I feel like if I am the same then I am not changing and growing and hopefully maturing, even in my ripe old age!
Well I had this milkshake I wanted to share with you. I took pictures and everything. Then I decided to scratch it because I just didn’t like the way the pictures came out. You see when I made this red velvet milkshake I was so in love the photos that it is going to be hard to top them in my book. So it is back to the drawing board and you get pasta today!
I am actually pretty happy with this pasta because it has four ingredients, minus salt and oil. It is ready in less than 30 minutes and you have an amazing dish that can feed a crowd or gives you plenty of leftovers to send the kids off to school with!
I used to always begin my pasta sauces with a soffritto. For some reason I stop doing that. Maybe I have been lazy, I am not sure but I do know is that I have been missing out on a wonderful flavor to my pasta sauces!
Soffritto is the base of an good Italian dish. It is basically onions and oil. A lot of times you also find carrots and celery but I left those out of this dish. ENJOY!
