Light (Sort of) Mediterranean Pasta

Filed under: improvised, pasta — gradcooking @ 5:51 pm
  • Pasta – $1.50
  • Canned artichokes $2.50
  • Shallots< $1
  • Portabella stems (used the caps from another recipe) part of original $5

TOTAL – $6 for about two servings
Not the most creative but pretty tasty. Pasta with artichokes (from a can), shallots, fresh basil, olive tapenade (store bought) and also home made croutons (used a loaf of garlic bread)

  • Sauteed shallots, oil portabella stems -
  • then added the artichokes after slicing them up with a little of the liquid from the can.
  • Sauteed a little longer, near the end I added the tapenade and mixed it in and
  • finally added the fresh basil.
  • Meanwhile cooked some pasta and combined when it was finished!
