What’s For Dinner?

Happy Monday!

Hey ya’ll! So as many of you know, we are a family that does not eat meat. We go outside, pick the leaves off the bushes and trees, and eat those everyday. Sometimes if we’re feeling adventurous, we pick the flowers out of the ground and eat those too. Just kidding. We actually still eat very good food. Since hiring a chef in Charlotte to help diversify our menu with not eating meat, it has spoiled me a bit, as I used to cook pretty regularly.
However, since coming back to Texas, I’ve been cooking again more regularly, as our new chef doesn’t start cooking for us until this week. Now I’m no *insert your favorite chef or your mama’s cooking here*, but I have been known to make some pretty tasty dishes! So anyway, yesterday I decided to cook some pasta, which is always a huge hit in our house. We’ll call this dish, Ravenous shrimp pasta.
Here’s what you need to make it:
-fresh baby spinach
-fresh button mushrooms
-fresh broccoli
-diced onions (I used red onions because that’s what I had here already)
-extra virgin olive oil (to cook the shrimp in)
-penne pasta
-seasonings of your choice (my go-to seasonings are sea salt, black pepper, creole seasoning, italian seasoning, and garlic powder)
-pasta sauce of your choice. ( I have made my own pasta sauce before, but sometimes you just want to pour some good stuff out of a jar!) Yesterday I tried a new sauce, seen below:

Creamy Spinach and Parmesan by Classico

Next I added the spinach and broccoli:

At this time I have the penne pasta cooking at the same time as well (I cook the pasta al dente):

 

Looking back, I probably could have added more spinach, but it still turned out very good nonetheless! So simple, yet so good!  Bon Apetit!
