Tonight was a pretty simple night for me. I had a whole bunch of veggies begging to hop in a pan and a husband who was out. Pasta was in order here too because I could make enough for a lunch left over. When thinking about the measurements, I didn't keep track of how much angel hair pasta I made but it was by no means a whole box. Can you hang with me on this?? It's a *Sara original.
Ingredients:
Half a green pepper, sliced long and thin
Half a red pepper, sliced long and thin
1/4cp chopped onion
1/2cp sliced fresh mushrooms
1/2cp-1cp grape tomatos
fresh lime juice, I cut the lime in half and squeezed as much juice as I could from it!
2 table spoons lemon juice, totally out of the bottle not my first choice though.
1 Tablespoon dried italian seasoning
2 Tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cp extra virgin olive oil
shake of black pepper
shake of salt
3.5 oz crumbled goat cheese
What to do:
1. Boil your pasta, angel hair is a good choice. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat olive oil and add onion until slightly tender.
3. Add Green and Red peppers, mushrooms, italian seasoning and cook on medium/low heat for about 3-4 minutes. Stir occassionaly.
4. Add lemon, lime juices and minced garlic to step 3. Also add grape tomatos and cover for about 4 minutes.
5. Remove cover, tomatos maybe slightly popped but it's okay.
6. Turn off stovetop heat, add cooked pasta to pan with vegetables and toss around until coated.
Transfer to bowls and add a shake of goat cheese to your liking. Goat is a soft cheese that is super creamy and will almost melt in your mouth. I bit into a grape tomato with a little goat cheese crumble, I think I said yum aloud! Typing all this out now makes me wish I would have a crusty bread and some smooth butter to compliment the flavor. Butter does not have it's own flavor it enhances other flavors.
-Just a quick note about the pictures I've been promising. I tried to upload a bunch on Monday and blogger wasn't co-operating with me. Sorry, I'll try again soon.
