Thursday nights are usually my laziest. I don't get home til late and I'm usually the only one home so I never feel like spending a lot of time in the kitchen. This week I used my lazy night cooking to clear out the fridge of some things that needed to get used up. They made a tasty pasta dish that is ready in 20 minutes or less.
Ingredients:
- Pasta (frozen tortellini in this case)
- Scallops (also frozen, and optional)
- Mushrooms
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Baby Spinach
- Garlic
- Olive Oil
- White Wine
- Pesto (or Basil)
- Salt & Pepper
Heat salted water in a large pot and add the pasta once it comes to a boil. While the water is heating up, mince the garlic, slice the mushrooms, and halve the cherry tomatoes. Heat the olive oil in a pan with the garlic. Add the mushrooms and fry for a couple minutes. Add the scallops, tomatoes, white wine, and spoonful pesto. When the pasta is finished cooking, strain, reserving a ladle full of the water and add to the sauce. Combine the pasta and spinach with the sauce and heat until the spinach is wilted. Pepper to taste (you don't need any more salt since the pasta water has enough). Relax and enjoy!
