Pasta Time

I have been meaning to make this for a while now, but I just haven’t had the chance.  This is a pretty simple pasta dish, but it’s so delicious.  To start, I sauteed some big chunks of onion and garlic in a little bit of olive oil, and then added in and browned some ground turkey.  I added crushed tomatoes and green pepper along with a melee of spices.  To top it off, some parmesan cheese – the whole thing was delicious, and ended up tasting something like my mom would have made us, which only makes it better!

Cool Pasta Salad

I made this pasta salad for a barbecue this past weekend. It was very refreshing, since it was about 95 degrees out! It has rotini pasta, cucumber, green pepper, muenster cheese and black beans with italian dressing. The beans give it a nice little burst of protein without having more meat, which was good because we had the largest pile of ribs that I have ever seen!
