Cooking is easy, but when it comes to thinking about what to cook, that is the hard part.  Today, I didn’t know what to cook, so I am thinking but can’t decide on what to prepare for dinner.  I walk into my pantry and see these pasta boxes and decided I shall make it.  But when I pull it down, there is little bit of farfalle, penne and some whole wheat pasta in the pantry.  Boil all of them mixed together so I have enough for all of us. Pasta is  an traditional Italian food which can be prepared so many ways.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups of uncooked pasta (farfalle or penne)
- 8-10 cloves of garlic chopped
- Morning Star Farms Griller Crumbles (any other soy granules)
- Pasta Sauce (I used store bought, you can us homemade or store bought)
- 1/2 tsp Italian Seasoning
- Red crushed peppers
- Olive Oil
- Basil Leaves
- Garlic powder
- Hot Sauce
Directions:
Boil the water in a pot with olive oil and salt. Â Add the pasta to the boiling water and let it cook for 12-15 minutes. Â Make sure you check it after 12 minutes as you don’t want your pasta to overcook. Â Drain in the cold water when done.
In a pan, add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Â Let it heat up a little then add the chopped garlic and stir it for a couple of minutes. Â Now add the soy protein to the garlic and sautee for another few minutes.
Now add the boiled pasta and mix well for another minute or so. Â Pour approximately 1/2 a cup of pasta sauce to the pasta. Â Sprinkle the italian seasoning, red crushed peppers, garlic powder.
Let it cook for a good 5-7 minutes. Â Add the hot sauce and snipped basil and turn it off.
Serve hot with garlic bread or a soup.
