My baby’s got sauce
I was going to go grocery shopping today, since we’re running low on food (actually that’s not true; we have tons of food but are running low on some essentials). I was all set, then I realized Denny had the car with the carseat in it, so Miles and I were stuck at home.
As I am wont to do under such circumstances, I made dinner out of stuff we had around. Tonight it was College Pasta, a dish I invented during my days of a smaller food budget. It’s basically just whatever pasta you have around in a simple sauce of garlic, butter, salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes, grated parmesan, and anything else you’re in the mood for. I’ve often done toasted pine nuts, sun-dried tomatoes, onions, and parsley, but once you start getting too fancy you miss the point.
Anyway, I reserved some for Miles before I added the crushed red pepper, and he loved it. It was very garlicky, made with the special home-grown garlic from Steve. I’m very proud of him.
Ah, college. We always had plenty of crushed red pepper flakes and sun-dried tomatoes. God, we had cupboards full. 😉
(that being said, sounds lovely)
God, I wish Leah ate garlic. Have I ever mentioned that?
Aprille, you live 10 min walk from a supermarket! Are the temperatures still below 0 F ? (this is a typical Norwegian comment, there is nowhere we can’t walk to here with a pusher and lots of wool layers around baby! ) 🙂 🙂
Liv likes garlic too!
