Pasta Date




Mmmm. It's nice to enjoy a later dinner sometimes on a Saturday evening. I've been recovering from a cold, and haven't felt like cooking much lately as I have been eating very lightly. But this evening around 7pm I had a craving for pasta, and made a very lovely and simple dish.

I also enjoyed a nice bottle of white wine with the meal. An Ontario unoaked white wine called Naked Grape. Normally I am a Pino girl, but their Chardonnay hits the spot nicely, and goes well with the asparagus in the dish!







What You'll Need (2 sauce servings, cook pasta accordingly)
1 cup whole wheat fusili
1-1/2 cups tomato sauce
1/2 zucchini
1 carrot
8-10 pieces of asparagus cut into strips
2-5 cloves garlic
1 tsp oregano
1/2-1 tsp red chillies
1/2 tsp salt
black pepper to taste
Nutritional Yeast to garnish.

How To:
Boil pasta.
In frying pan, add all of the ingredients and let simmer while pasta cooks, until carrots are soft and tender.
