I was going to do a baked crispy shrimp recipe as a lighter version of Bonefish Grill’s Bang Bang shrimp. All day I was glancing through recipes any free minute I got. I created a light spicy sauce I was going to make and when I told my husband Chris about my grand plans, instead of the huge fanfare of excitement I thought I would get, he said,
“How about we just do a ‘whatever’ night.” (aka fend for yourself)
Huh!? “What about Bang Bang Shrimp?!”
“Do you mind if I play nine holes?”
(Me all dejected) “No. I guess I’ll just figure something out.”
The something turned out to be this pasta that was so good it shouldn’t even be legal. I used my “from the pantry” skills and busted out some whole wheat pasta, a left over ½ jar of pasta sauce and chopped up the veggies I had on hand. I even treated myself to a glass of red wine while I was cooking. Go me.
**The ingredients are approximate so I won’t do a printable recipe. I just threw in what I had on hand so if you have different veggies chop those up instead. I’m not even sure how many servings this would make. Just serve up what you like.
That is my kind of pasta. It was the goat cheese that got
me. LOVE goat cheese!
I hate when I spend the day dreaming up a wonderful meal, only to have my husband throw a wrench into my plans! But wine and goat cheese make things better in my book!
I LOVE throw together pasta dishes! Especially with all of these veggies! Totally my kind of meal.
P does that sometimes too! It seems like when I'm really excited about cooking something he squashes it!
My kind of dinner! I love throwing together pasta like this!!
This looks very much like something I have made. Looks sooo good. Hard to go wrong with goats cheese
