One of my favourite 30 minute dinner recipes – warm and comfort!
It has a good portion of veggies so it is surely healthy and add spinach if needed. I made this with a side of radish cucumber salad. I somehow forgot to edit the pictures and finally got some time this weekend to sit with my lightroom. I should say probably because my mom is here and she takes care of the kitchen mostly so I have loads of time. Actually she takes care of the kitchen and also me. Its been long since she hugged me and slept, felt better. Going to miss this again..
Now back to the pasta story, I don’t make pasta a lot. However when I make I try to include mushrooms to it as I like it a lot. Most probably I make pasta because I don’t want to cook for long. So I tend not to take much pictures or when I am bored of rice. It is one of the quick dinner recipes. I like to make my dinner with lot of recipes to fill my plate which I don’t mind if it takes time, but if I make a single dish it means I am too tired to cook, so it should be quick for me.
You can use any kind of pasta for this. 🙂

I also love this kind of simple meal, and like you said, it’s easy to just add more vegetables to make it healthier. Yummy! And your mom sounds lovely 🙂
Thank you 🙂 yeah true 🙂 adding more vegetables to make more healthy is the point!
There’s nothing quite so good as a quick, delicious, and healthy pasta dish. I love your simple approach to it. And I hear you on the ol’ time-to-work issue. I never have more free time than when my parents comes to visit and my kids forget that I exist for a few days. 😉
