Happy first day of May! I love the month of May! It is also my birthday month. All the flowers are blooming and the weather is finally warming up - it's a great month.
Anyway, I made a delicious and easy pasta dish for dinner tonight and wanted to share the recipe with all of you. I actually make this at least once or twice a month. It's quick and easy for a weeknight dinner. I use this jar of sauce (I use the spicy vodka sauce, but they also have a non-spicy version) and the recipe is on the jar. Basically, you boil your pasta - I use this brand and you can find it at most grocery stores, add the jar of sauce along with one cup of heavy cream to a separate, large pot - I use my Le Creuset brasier ( I love this braiser and use it all the time from stovetop to oven) for the sauce and let it simmer until the pasta is ready. Drain the pasta and toss it in the sauce with two tablespoons of butter and that's it! Super easy and delicious. I also added some fresh basil to finish it off. I hope you make it! Please let me know if you do.
Have a great day!
Hi Julia! Pasta night in our house is always on a Tuesday. We eat something very similar, as it's my busiest day of the week and I have very little time to prepare anything. I must remember to add some fresh basil next time. Xx
ReplyDeleteIt's good to have a go to quick recipe for the busier nights of the week. We don't have so many of those now but we were always dashing about when the kids were young, taking them here or there, and quick meals were the order of the day. Wishing you a very happy birthday in advance, I hope you have a lovely day.
ReplyDeleteI make something similar, we called the sauce "cinque P" (five p). From the ingredients in Italian pomodoro, parmigiano, prezzemolo, panna and pepe (tomato puree, parmesan, parsley, cream and pepper). Ready in five minutes. Happy Birthday when it comes!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for the good dish in the Le Creuset! And woohoo for your birthday month. It's my hubby's birthday month as well.
ReplyDeleteOh, Julia, this looks amazing and sounds delicious! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe! And Happy Birthday month to you! I hope you celebrate all month long! :) xx
ReplyDeleteWe love pasta meals, they are usually topped with cheese and baked in the oven for the last 10 mins, like one you showed in an earlier post.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month to you. I love May too because it is our wedding anniversary month. Super quick and easy recipe for pasta night. Thank you.
