Is there anything in this world better than pasta? Besides chocolate, that is? If my family would let me, I would make some form of it every single day of the week. Spaghetti, lasagna, fettuccine, macaroni... baked, boiled or fried, I just love it all! Not only is it delicious, I like how quickly it can be prepared for those days I am short on time but the family still wants to eat. That's why I am totally digging this Tortellini in Tomato Broth recipe from Golden Blossom Honey. It's quick, filling, and scrumptious! 3 things that definitely make this dish a winner!
Jason usually doesn't like it when I make "just" soup for dinner because he tends to still be hungry afterwards. But, there were no complaints with this. He was so full from his serving, he turned down finishing off the leftovers in my bowl, which is something I rarely see him do!

It does look like a lot of ingredients which could be mistaken for this being a time consuming recipe, but I had this from stove to dinner table in under 15 minutes, including food prep.

What's your favorite kind of pasta?
Looks nom! I mostly use wholemeal pasta when I can find it cheaper on sales so I stock on it, I put it in soups too, but here we always put noodles in soups. My fave pasa would probably be 'tarana' which is small little pasta pellets which are cooked in the way that they soak up all the water during cooking.
ReplyDeleteYou fry an onion with some diced carrots and parsley, add two teaspoons of paprika, then add two cups of boiling water, any spices you want, salt, and then a cup of your fave pasta, best some pellets, stars and some macaroni and you cook it for about 15 to 20 mins. until all the water is soaked up. You can eat it half an hour later or even tomorrow from the fridge. And you can do it without the paprika too by adding some broccoli, sprouts or whatever
Tarana sounds yummy! I don't believe we have the here though :( I did Google it to get an image of what it looks like. I will have to look in our Ethnic grocers next time I am there to see if they stock it.
Deleteyou can use any kind of pasta for it, deary, even little stars pasta that you put in soups or just smaller macaroni etc. The key is in using two cups of liquid on one cup of pasta so that is soaks in it during cooking
DeleteThis does look so tasty!
ReplyDeleteI like Lasagna a lot. I have to look up how to spell it every time though. That silent g gets me every time.
I like making lasagna because we usually have enough for 2 dinners. It's such a budget savvy meal!

ReplyDeleteThey will love it! I didn't think my girls would eat it because they don't like greens (crazy, right!?) but they both gobbled up a bowl.
DeleteLooks really healthy and delicious. I love pasta.
