Topic: Fun with Recipes
This recipe is based on a recipe I originally got from the SparkPeople site (great site for those trying to lose weight or just change to a more healthy lifestyle) but has evolved into something more, as do most recipes I get my hands on. Not to say it is better (I think it is, though) or worse, just different from the original. As a matter of fact, I have made this recipe twice now, different each time, of course, and it has come out really well both times. I don't think the differences in the versions are enough to warrant two different versions of the recipe so I'll just relate what I consider to be the definitive version of the recipe here (but you can just throw out my suggestions and do whatever the hell you want, it is your meal after all). The ingredients:
- 1 bag baby arugula salad mix (the first time I made this recipe, I just used a spring mix and it worked just fine)
- 4 cups cooked whole wheat spaghetti (I'm guessing on how much pasta I use. I generally just use a box of the brand I get. Probably should pay more attention. The original recipe called for 4 cups cooked though, so that's what I'm relating to you. You can probably get away with using more or less, as long as you don't go too wild.)
- 2 diced tomatoes (size is not important, although if the tomatoes are small you might want to go with a larger number of them)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 10 oz. feta cheese (the original recipe called for only a half a cup, but I prefer a little more)
- black pepper to taste
- sea salt to taste
- garlic powder to taste
Ok, so here's how it all comes together:
Prepare pasta as directed on package. Next, in a large skillet over high heat, add olive oil and argali salad. Cook until slightly wilted. Add tomato, and cook for a minute longer. Then, add cooked pasta and in with mixture in skillet. Next, add feta cheese, one half, stir it in, then the other half, stir it in. Finally, season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Cook until the cheese is a bit melted, then remove from heat and let sit for a few minutes (like five maybe) and serve warm.
