A Pasta Post

Well, it's Monday.  And we gotta eat, right?  Right?!

This meat-free pasta dish is so super easy you won't be able to find an excuse not to cook.  And it will shock the heck out of the hubs who hasn't heard anything but "Burgers or pizza?" for the last month.

Walnut & Parsley Pasta

Ingredients:

• 12 oz Spaghetti
• 6 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 Garlic Clove, crushed
• 1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts (I toasted mine)
• 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
• 3 tablespoons chopped Parsley

Method:

• Cook Spaghetti according to package directions until al dente.
• Heat the oil in a skillet.  Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute.
• Add walnuts and cook for two minutes.
• Toss all ingredients together.  Yum.

I like squiggly spaghetti.

Drew enjoyed it, despite the fact that he usually turns his nose up at nuts and parsley.  I think he was just thrilled he wasn't eating pizza.  Again.

Nom. Nom. Nom.

Please don't look too closely at his plate or you'll notice that I totally let him off the hook for Meatless Monday by adding grilled chicken to his pasta.  I'm weak. 

Happy {meatless} Monday!
