Pasta a la J.

When I first moved to this area I quickly realized that the Italians who had settled the area also brought their great food with them. There is pasta galore and the local store always has good produce. It makes eating well as easy as it should be.
serves 2-3
25 minutes
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red pepper, diced
  • 2 carrots, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, diced
  • 3 cups spinach cut up
  • romano cheese
  • olive oil
  • 3 cups of pasta
  1. Saute the onion and pepper in some olive at medium heat until they turn slightly brown.
  2. Add garlic and carrots and cook for 3 more minutes.
  3. Add spinach, add a little bit of water, cover with a lid, turn to low and simmer.
  4. Into a boiling pot of lightly salted water add pasta and cook until done.
  5. When the pasta is done, drain and return to pot. Add the vegetables and some olive oil to mix everything well.
  6. Serve and add some grated romano cheese.
  7. I like to add a little chili peppers as well for some heat.
