Cooking with Baby: Lunch Time, Lunch Time
Last night I made a Bertolli Pasta dish. It was one of the frozen packages that has everything included and cooks up in like 10 minutes. A new busy parents DREAM! In the past year these packages have been a staple in our house. Maybe I should buy some stock...
Anyway... The plan was to eat that for dinner when Kevin got home. But around 9pm all I really was craving was a 1/4 pounder. Yeah... The McDs craving has hit! I'm actually still craving one... Maybe for dinner. I called Kevin to see if he had passed the Golden Arches to find out he was bringing home some pork chops.
Here I am today... Thinking of what to make for lunch and all I see is this left over pasta staring at me. And the more I try to ignore it... It keeps staring! I quickly remember Giada's episode yesterday where she made frittatas. She said her mother would make these all the time with left over pasta (sauce included).
I think I had actually made one before... But I baked it... So... I preheat the oven, whip up some eggs, cut up some left over asparagus, and that "make me feel guilty" staring pasta. Viola! 30 minutes later... Lunch!
Take that... Left over pasta!
This recipe was a home run and not just for me. Ainsley really liked it. And because of the dairy and added veggies I feel good feeding it to her. And because of the texture she was able to feed herself and was able to chew it well (with her 8 teeth).
Here is my recipe:
Take That Pasta Frittata
Preheat over to 350.
- 6 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1 1/2 cups of cheese (shredded)
- 2 cups of left over pasta (we had Bowties with Chicken in a Vodka Sauce with Asparagus) (sauce included - cut up a bit)
- leftover asparagus (diced)
Beat together eggs and milk.
Add cheese, pasta and asparagus.
Place is a dish.
Bake for 30 minutes.
Let cool for 5 minutes.
If you like a crispy, golden top place under boiler for 5 minutes (or till preferred brown).
