Light and Healthy-ish


So, I debated on whether or not to share this recipe, because it's not a traditional macaroni and cheese. But hey, it has pasta and cheese, so I decided to go for it.

**********************************************

Today I am going to share a delicious pasta I concocted a couple of weeks ago. 

Lucky for you, I documented my effort with my trusty camera. 

Ready, ok! 


014 
  Boil some fusilli. I think fusilli is my favorite pasta. It boils evenly and holds the ingredients in its grooves.

013
Cook some broccoli to desired firmness {that kind of sounds dirty. blush!}

017
Just before your pasta is finished boiling, throw in some frozen peas. Drain (duh).

018
Add goat cheese and broccoli that you have boiled to your desired firmness {*^-^*} <-----that's a blushing-face-emoticon because I said 'desired firmness' again (here is an explanation of what an emoticon is for my mom and grandma who are not hep to the computermachine lingo) Watch, my mom will probably leave a comment saying, 'I knew what that was MISSY!'

015
Add spinach leaves and pine nuts once the goat cheese is all melty and stirred around evenly. 

016
Serve with a simple green salad with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. 

020
Reward your culinary effort with a glass {or bottle; we won't judge} of crisp white wine. My favorite cheap white lately is    La Ferme Julien Blanc aka 'The Goat Wine.' $6 at your local Trader Joe's!

Yummmdaddy

**I didn't measure ANYTHING in this recipe. I just kind of threw it all in there. 

I wish I knew how to make my photos all the same size. 
Sigh.......
