Wednesdays are Italian/Pasta Night
Summer and spring elicit such an abundance of fresh vegetables that a simple pasta dish is an absolute must. This dish has artichokes, lemon, peas, sun-dried tomatoes, parsley and pasta. It was fresh, and refreshing and delicious. You can almost taste summer in the dish itself. With simply few ingredients, cooking is also a breeze and quick - fabulous for warm summer nights when being in the kitchen is the last thing on your over-heated mind.
The kids liked this, too. Too simple not to, really.
Cost Breakdown:
artichokes: $3

Total to feed a family of 5:

that looks like the perfect summer dinner! I can't wait to try it!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Perfect to get you out of the kitchen ASAP.
ReplyDeleteI hate peas, but out of love for my husband I am always on the look out for a good recipe with peas, he loves them, yuck. But I love artichoke, so this might be a good compromise for us. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis tasted really good and since there are just enough peas in it, you can navigate around them - like my kids do. It seems my bowl will typically have the peas that go missing from theirs. Hmmm.
