I made a very simple veggie pasta for dinner tonight, it was perfect for a cold rainy day. Plus I needed to use up some veggies that were going to go bad!

Chop up any veggies you want or have I used mushrooms bell pepper zucchini spinach and a drained can of diced tomatoes
Heat up some olive oil and start with a bunch of minced garlic then toss in your veggies. Season with crushed red pepper, black pepper, parsley. In another pot cook whatever pasta you want to use until almost done. When the veggies are about half way done toss in your tomato’s and spinach. Once spinach is cooked down stirring it all together pour in 1/3 or so cup of white wine and allow to evaporate. When pasta is about 1-2 from being done to your liking transfer it to your veggies saving the pasta water. Toss it all together and add 1/2-1 ish ladle of pasta water. Allow to cook until pasta is done to your liking.
Top with cheese if you prefer, lord knows I added my parm!

For dinner tonight I made rice ball (Arancini) casserole and it was amazing! Of course I put my own spin on it. Traditionally the center filling would have a meat sauce with peas. I used crumbled Italian sausage and mushrooms. I must give credit where credit is due though, this one was not my idea. I got it from this amazing woman! I highly recommend trying it! Fair warning though it’s time consuming and I recommend planning a head. I would make the rice and sauce filling a head of time!

I used crumbled Italian sausage and mushrooms instead of peas. You can literally do whatever you like though! I must give credit where it is due though! This was not my idea I got it from this amazing woman! Highly recommend making it!

Tonight for dinner I made steak stuffed with sautéed spinach & ricotta. For our side I made my Italian potatoes and added roasted red peppers to them! 🥰🔥🤤

Italian potatoes
Peel and dice potatoes into 1 inch cubes. Spray baking dish/pan with cooking spray and then place potatoes in the dish. Generously cover with olive and toss. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, red pepper, and oregano! Toss it all together and cover with foil. Bake at 400 for about 30-40 minutes & check for desired tenderness.
You can add veggies if you like last time I made them I added jarred roasted red peppers. I also like to cover them with parmigiana cheese!

I made these tonight and they were amazing!
