We’re all still sick. My daughter is home from daycare. My husband will be going back to work after dinner. Nothing is getting done. Therefore: Pasta Night! I’ll make something fast with canned tomatoes. I’ll clear our noses with chili oil. I’ll give us vitamins with greens from the garden.
- Linguini with fast garlic and tomato sauce
- Sauteed greens
- Bread, feta cheese and chili oil on the side
The plan:
I’ll sautée the garlic in olive oil and add the canned tomatoes at some point in the afternoon when my daughter is occupied with something. I’ll let it simmer for a bit and then turn it off. I’ve already picked some greens from the garden, I’ll wash them at about the same time. At around 5:30 I’ll start heating the pasta water and slowly reheat the tomato sauce (I added some herbs and olives to it as well). I’ll chop the greens and sautée them in a bit of oil and lemon juice. When the water boils, I’ll add the pasta and gather help for table setting. We’ll eat by 6:00.
