Monday night pasta

This is another recipe which is very easy to make. It has plenty of flavour, and would go nicely with a light salad.

This dish is on the Pasta menu at a private golf club in NY. Just enough lemon!! Easy to put together and ready in 15 mins max!

A few nights ago, I came across an old vid of Jamie Oliver on YouTube, making a trio of quick pastas. One was a super-simple lemon pasta, made only with lemon, olive oil, and parm. I made up my mind pretty quickly that I wanted to try it. However, as the time to do so came around, it occured to me I could jazz it up, mainly by incorporating some half-shell mussels I had in the fridge (I was saving them for gumbo). The end result was one part Jamie's recipe, minus the parm (because my imaginary Italian nonna won't let me combine seafood and cheese in a pasta dish), and another part mussels cooked vongole-ish style. The fusion was a perfect marriage of lemon, seafood, noodles, and deliciousness.

seen this on YouTube and had to give it a try I love seafood and Italian dishes, here’s the link , for the original recipe but I changed it up some .https://youtu.be/VC-iDlV6DWQThis was so quick and easy to make.

This pasta is easy to make even the picky eaters will like eat. Happy eating. 😊 #pasta #4weekschallenge

This is another last-minute dish, whipped up after my wife requested pasta to go with the chicken I was in the middle of preparing for dinner. I didn't have anything at hand that could obviously go into a pasta, such as sausage or herbs, and only had a bottle of passata and a handful of capers in the pantry. So I decided to forgo both altogether and created something new, with a little bit of inspiration from carbonara, and a little bit of inspiration from caccio e pepe. For a simple, spontaneous dish cooked in less than 10 minutes, it turned out really well.

Today we set a new record for weather in Chicago. Is -14 degrees.Even though we have a Trader Joe's in my back yard, it is just too cold. I had a packet of frozen spinach so here we go.
