Traditionally during Lent we abstain from meat on Fridays. This can be challenging when it comes to preparing meals, especially when you have meat lovers in the house!
Michael thinks if there is no meat, he will starve. I think he might have been a caveman in a previous life!
I decided to try and make something filling that everyone would enjoy, without meat.
Brianna likes pasta and spinach and Michael likes garlic bread. When I prepared this dish Michael said it was good and he would eat it. But I think he's glad it's only one day without meat!
It's a great way to sneak in veggies for those picky eaters and it's fairly inexpensive to make.
Creamy Bowtie Pasta with Spinach
1 box bowtie pasta
1 small box frozen spinach, thawed
1 can diced tomatoes, drained
1 jar alfredo sauce
2 tbls. parsley
dash pepper
Cook pasta according to package directions. Add thawed spinach to pasta water. Turn off heat. Let stand 2-3 minutes. (This gets the spinach hot without cooking out all the nutrients.) Drain pasta and spinach in colander and place in large bowl. Add diced tomatoes, alfredo sauce, parsley and pepper. Stir to combine. Serve with garlic bread.
