Pasta

YUM. I needed some carbs today so I decided to make a huge pot of pasta. I can't wait for leftovers tomorrow.


Here are all of my ingredients. Feta cheese, broccoli, a can of diced tomatoes, some grape tomatoes that are on their last legs, olive oil, sea salt, italian pasta and seasonings (from my friend Ashley! She brought it from Italy!) and some red potatoes.



First I caramelized onions with a little butter. I realize butter is terrible for you but OH WELL. It tastes fantastic in the pasta sauce.


The colorful italian pasta.


The seasonings. I love how it's labeled "Mother-in-law's Killer." It is SPICY!


The pasta dyed the water pink while boiling.



While the pasta boiled, I added some grape tomatoes to the caramelizing onions. These tomatoes were almost ready to be thrown out. Roasting them was a great way to avoid waste.


Added a can of diced tomatoes (no salt added to reduce my sodium intake) and a heaping scoop of diced garlic. I bought a jar of diced garlic at Costco. Fresh garlic would be much better, I'm sure!


I tossed the pasta in the sauce and topped it with feta cheese and turkey bacon. YUM! This bowl was about 375 calories. I made 8 servings of pasta. It was so good!

Thanks for giving us this pasta Ashley!
