Asparagus And Pasta
A couple of weeks ago Garrick took Trent to go and see the new Iron Man movie after he got home from work. So, it was just the baby and I to cook dinner for. I was really jazzed about this because Hunter is much easier to cook for then Trent is. I also had some asparagus to use up and Garrick doesn’t really like that. I proceeded to cook a nice non-meat dish for Hunter and myself. I had two boxes of pasta that were a quarter full that have been sitting in my cabinet for months, so I went ahead and used those up. I threw the asparagus in the water with the bowties and elbows and while those cooked I took a half a stick of butter and melted it in a small pan, threw in some very thinly sliced red onion and garlic, added some vinho verde and cooked it down nicely. Next I opened a can of Cannellini beans, rinsed them and threw them into my butter mixture and finished that off with some fresh Basil and Mint. After I drained the pasta and asparagus, I combined everything. It turned out so amazing! The baby and I feasted. Hoorah for experiments in the kitchen!
