Something people should know about me: I'm averse to boxed pasta + bottled sauce. I feel the need to say this as if it's a formal pronouncement of a deficiency because people have been shocked by this fact for a long time. I've learned to keep it under wraps on the most part, but I feel this information necessary to divulge for this culinary adventure. Intrigued by the super-easy hollandaise sauce from the week before (remade of course -- hollandaise doesn't keep for more than a few hours), I tried out a super easy basic recipe that was delicious.
Ingredients:
- Spinach and Chive Pasta (Trader Joe's)
- Baby Tomatoes
- Hollandaise Sauce
- Parmesan Cheese (optional)
1. Boil water, then add the pasta and cook for 5 minutes. Should be al dente.
2. Cut baby tomatoes lengthwise, then roast in a skillet.
3. Mix pasta and tomatoes, then top off with hollandaise sauce and sprinkle on hollandaise.
The flavors on this dish are amazing. It's surprising how such a simple mix of a few key ingredients combines for a delicious meal that does not taste anything like a bland pile of grains with heavy bottled tomatoes thrown on top :)
