I love pasta! Okay..love is an understatement. Even though I can’t have wheat, I found a brand of pasta that I truly love after a lot of trial and error. Now I order in bulk so I always have it on hand. When you find something you love, it’s okay to buy in bulk if you know you will eat it before it expires. Having a reserve supply {or stockpile} of your favorites for making quick meals like this Vegetarian Greek Pasta with Feta.
I actually make this for lunch while my little man is having mac & cheese. It actually takes just about the same amount of time of making the boxed mac & cheese that he loves so much. So it’s perfect and we can have lunch together…he’s my favorite lunch date these days and it’s coming to an end faster than I want. Next year he will be in kindergarten so I’m taking in as many of our special lunch dates and time together as I can.
Acting Silly with my Little Man!

February 5, 2014 at 12:13 pmNot only am I pretty crazy for olives, but lately I’ve been loving grape tomatoes, so looks perfect for me. Beautiful colors too!

February 3, 2014 at 10:43 pmI heart feta but despise olives! I’ll leave those out and give this a try. Great idea!

January 31, 2014 at 3:00 pmThat does look amazing. I wonder if I could do it with spaghetti squash?
