Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Spinach Pasta Toss

Part pasta dish, part soup.  Let's see how we like it.

INGREDIENTS
1 can (14 oz) Italian-style diced tomatoes, undrained
2cups pasta
1 cup water
1 bag baby spinach leaves (7-8 oz)
1 cup Shredded Italian three cheese blend (or mix your own with cheddar & Parmesan cheeses)

DIRECTIONS

Bring tomatoes, pasta and water to boil in large sauce pan.  Cover, simmer on low heat 10 minutes, or until pasta is tender.

Add 1/2 of spinach, simmer until wilted. Stir and add remainder of spinach.  

Serve topped with cheese.


VERDICT
  
Honestly there is nothing wrong with this recipe.  It's perfectly edible.  It's not necessarily the most imaginative pasta recipe you'll ever have, or the most delicious, but it is quick and easy and makes a nice hearty meal.  And there's nothing wrong with that.
