Serving Size: 1
Ingredients:
-1/4 cup dry pasta (penne or bow-tie work best)
-2 tablespoons walnuts, chopped
-1/4 cup onions, chopped
-1 garlic clove, minced
-1/2 tablespoon oil
-1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
-grated Italian cheese, to taste
Optional: Balsamic Glaze
-2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
-1 teaspoon honey
Directions:
1. To toast walnuts: place chopped walnuts in a sauté pan over medium heat (the pan should be dry, meaning NO OIL); stir walnuts around with a wooden spoon - pay close attention to the walnuts as they can go from perfectly toasted to burnt very quickly. And cook with your nose - you'll know the walnuts are done when you can smell them (they should be a dark brown color). When they're done, place walnuts in a small bowl
2. Cook pasta according to package
3. In the same sauté pan used for toasting, heat 1/2 tablespoon of oil --> add garlic and onions. Cook until onions are translucent (about 5 minutes)
4. Add cooked pasta and toasted walnuts to pan --> toss together with onions and garlic --> transfer to serving bowl
5. If using, drizzle balsamic glaze over pasta. Top with grated cheese and parsley.
To make balsamic glaze:
1. Combine balsamic vinegar and honey in a small saucepan
2. Boil over medium heat (about 4-5 minutes)
3. Glaze is done when it is viscous and can coat the back of a spoon
Sounds delish, right?! Like I said, the addition of some leafy greens makes the dish even more spectacular (if you decide to add any veggies, do so after step 3). Let me know what you think!
The final recipe is the easiest (I almost feel like I'm cheating because it's so easy). You've probably made something very similar (or exactly the same) at some point in your life. Delicious additions to this recipe include 1 cup of sliced banana/ strawberries, 2 tablespoons of raisins/craisins, or 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon. Alright enough chit-chat...the moment you've all been waiting for... the final recipe: Peanut Butter Honey Wrap
Serving Size: 1
Ingredients:
-1 whole wheat (or brown rice) tortilla
-2 tablespoon natural peanut butter (and by natural I mean pb with an ingredient list that only says Roasted Peanuts and NO partially-hydrogenated oils)
-1 tablespoon honey
Directions:
1. Spread peanut butter in center of tortilla
2. Drizzle honey on top of peanut butter
3. Roll tortilla into a log or fold one side of tortilla over the other (kind of like folding a shirt...)
4. Enjoy!
Ok. Recipes from the pantry...done. Onto bigger, better, and more exciting things!
