Thursday's Kitchen Cupboard..........3/22/2012

I haven't been the most creative cook around here this week. I think those couple of days at the plots and the warm weather has been keeping me away from cooking a bit. I have also been spending the mornings taking care of my neighbor. She had a spinal cord injury and had to have surgery on her neck. This injury has severely affected her hands and her walking a bit. I think I've been doing more cooking over there then here.

Last night I realized that I hadn't taken any pictures of anything for today's post. So, I made another really easy pasta dish for "The Italian". He is one happy Italian this week. We had two of his favorites dishes two nights in a row! I don't think that I have posted this recipe before. If so, here it is again.

Pasta Piselli
   Ingredients:

• 1 Package of Frozen Peas or 1 Can of Le Sueur Peas
• Olive Oil
• Chopped Onion
• Canned Tomatoes or Tomato Puree (this time I used 1 pint of puree and 1 pint of whole tomatoes)
• Pasta of your choice
• Grating Cheese 

   Directions:

1. Chop about 1/2 of a medium onion
2. Saute the chopped onion in a little olive oil until translucent
3. Add puree or tomatoes, bring to a boil then reduce and cook for about 30 minutes or until desired thickness
4. When your water is about ready to cook the pasta, add the peas to the sauce
5. Serve with grated cheese.........that's it, no other ingredients or seasonings! 

This is a great Easy Peasy Recipe!!

I found some wonderful cheese in the cheese drawer that we bought in Little Italy. Grated it and served it in this pretty little bowl.

So, what have you been whipping up with your stored goods or putting away for another day???
