Pasta night

I haven't made pasta in such a long time even though it is one of my favorite foods. I guess I have been eating lesser and lesser carbs. However, I do use whole wheat pasta instead of regular pasta, so there's more fibre and thus healthier.

Anyway, pasta is one of the ways I can "hide" vegetables cos Bob will NOT eat any cooked green at all.

Look at this pic. It looks like I'm getting ready to feed a rabbit or some pet. But I actually have to cut up the vegetables (in this case, spinach and broccoli) into tiny little pieces so that they are undetectable when cooked and won't get picked out by Bob.

Mix in the veggies with ground beef, italian sausage, onions, and mushroom. Then add pasta sauce. I also add tomato paste and diced tomato cos that gives the sauce more body.

Mix with pasta (penne and rotini) and topped with jalepeno cheddar, pop into the oven and broil for 2 mins to melt the cheese and for a bit of burnt crust.

The finish product.
