I was in a time crunch. The house was a mess, I wouldn't be home from work until 6pm and I had a meeting at the house at 7pm. Fortunately my husband can make some fab efforts in the kitchen!
We learned early into this diet that while we can fake grocery lists typically we cannot while eating this way. In order to save money and stress we have begun thoroughly planning out the recipes we will try each week. We had been curious about this recipe for a while and it seemed fairly quick and simple.
I set super hubby to the task of starting this before I got home. He truly took charge and completely took care of dinner while I cleaned the bathroom and vacuumed! The recipe took longer than expected, but that was mostly due to a broiler snafu. Surprisingly, the onions I expected to char in 10 seconds under the broiler took some time to cook.
The final result? Not what I expected. I thought this would be more of a conventional pasta dish. This seemed more like a baked pasta casserole to me. It's not a bad recipe, but it is pretty bland. It needs red pepper flakes and some garlic. Peas or asparagus wouldn't be a bad addition either.
In our efforts to save money I've been intentionally making too much food so I have lots of leftovers. I brought some to work today. We'll see if it is better on the second go-round.
