Late-night College Dinner!
In the tradition of my awesome aunt, I wanted to post a recipe I just created for myself:
Not fancy, but super yummy, and smells great!
This is what i did:
For a total prep time of about 20 minutes, I started boiling some water in a saucepan on the stove, and then added about 2 cups of dry pasta. I used penne because that's what i had on hand, but next time i would consider using a different kind. In any case, a good sized box of pasta can be found for less than a dollar. I put the lid on the pasta to cook, and meanwhile, took out 4 pieces of TJ's wheat bread from the freezer (lasts longer that way for just one person) and lightly defrosted it in the toaster. Next, I whipped up some garlic spread, using about 1/2 stick of butter, 1 tsp of minced garlic, and 2 tbsp. of parmesan cheese. i first melted the butter for a few seconds in the mocrowave, to make it easier to spread, and then added the other ingredients and mixed them together in a small bowl. When the pasta was cooked (al dente) , I strained it, and added 1 cup of canned pasta sauce (heated) and some cheese to taste. Then I spread the garlic mixture on the toast and cooked them in the toaster oven at 350 for about 4 minutes.
It made the whole apartment smell wonderful, and everyone had to come down to see what was cooking. I saved about half of it for leftovers. Super easy meal in less than 20 minutes! : )
