Hi everyone! First post here.
I got married two months ago and got my first taste of buying and cooking my own food! Andrew and I both grew up with parents who did the majority of the household cooking, and then we went to college and Metz did the cooking. And then we moved to NH into a tiny apartment and suddenly had to come up with recipes and meals every night! We’re also trying to be thrifty with our finances and not eat out or spend on expensive foods.
A few weeks ago, an ad for a one-pot pasta dish came up on my Instagram. I *almost* scrolled right by it, but then changed my mind. Andrew and I love pasta and hey, maybe it’ll be good!
So I made it the other day and it was so good! I’ll drop the recipe at the end. It’s vegetarian, which I appreciated (I’m not a vegetarian, but we try to eat one meatless meal a week). It’s VERY simple to make, and has a lot of flavor. It only takes the one pot, too, so clean up is easy (Andrew and I both work full time, so more time together and less doing dishes! Side note- we don’t have a dishwasher). The only thing we changed was that we didn’t add fava beans (I searched the grocery store for SO LONG for them…and eventually gave up). We also didn’t add a chive blossom, because, hey. We’re not that fancy. We just like to eat.
Anyways, there ya go! If you like pasta and vegetables, try it out!
