well, today was one of those days for me. however with a little help from Z walking the dog with me and putting her chopping and stirring skills to work we were sitting and enjoying dinner [me with a glass of wine] 10 - 15 minutes later enjoying a really yummy meal.
here is what we collected from the pantry and fridge
- 1 lb [454 g] penne pasta
- 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 handfuls of baby bell peppers, dice small
- 3 scallions, cut small using white and green
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- salt and pepper to taste
- feta cheese [optional]
- bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook your pasta according to package instructions.
- meanwhile in a large skillet heat some olive oil and sautee the scallions ( about 3 min )
- add the peppers sautee and add about 1/4 cup of the pasta water, season with salt and pepper and cook for 5 more minutes. add the cherry tomatoes
- drain pasta and toss with sauce
- top with feta [optional but we found it gives a great tangy twist]
- enjoy ! *sorry for the bad picture
Mmmh YUM !
