Eat, life's too short to be miserable.
ME : )
I am cursed. I love food, good food, not junk. I don't eat fast food, rarely have takeout. I cook. And I eat. And I look like I cook and eat. Cooking for me is like playing for someone else. It makes me happy and people eating makes me happy. I tell my horses, mangia, mangia. Have a little nosh, do you want some more? Of course, no one needs to tell a healthy horse to eat! My perfect audience.I did a quiz on FB about where you should live and it came up Italy, based on my need to have a city and culture near, while I live in the country. And food.
This is something I came up with a long time ago. My husband, the meat eater, likes it, but likes it better with portobello mushrooms. They are a firm, meaty mushroom and they trick his taste into thinking he has meat. I always keep them on hand, but I was out. Poor Mark.
So, this is it:
You can wilt fresh spinach or use frozen chopped, which I did here. Fresh is very good, but I don't always have fresh produce on hand when the spirit moves me.
6 cloves garlic
olive oil to cook the garlic and spinach
enough cream or half & half to make a sauce
about 1/2 cup of grated cheese, parm, romano, etc.
portobello mushrooms, if you are inclined
salt to taste
any pasta you like
a little cheese on top

Mmmm... that looks so good! Maybe I'll make something like that tonight for supper! I was just thinking "what should we have for supper..." then I came upon your blog! :)
My Liddy would like this. She's a pasta junkie.
Wow, does this look good.
There's a reason that I am always struggling with my weight - food. I so agree with everything that you said...we rarely eat out - I don't (usually) prepared boxed or frozen foods. To top it all off, I am a food writer for the newspaper (so I am twice cursed) - I mean, I HAVE to research what I write about, right?
I am definitely going to make this dish soon. Thanks!
Anything with six cloves of garlic has my vote. Sounds divine.
Looks WONDERFUL! I too am a lover of cooking and food.
Happy St Patty's Day everyone. I'm having corned beef and cabbage tonight!
Kacie, it's really quick.
6 cloves of garlic for what is a serving for 2 in our house. I think my pores seep garlic!
As food became more expensive I stopped purchasing pre-made items entirely. I would be totally lost if I wrote a food column. Yikes!
Enjoy the corned beef and cabbage. Drink plenty of green beer. : )
