Easy Garlic and Veggie Pasta

If you have seen the news or Facebook, you know Houston was hit hard by rain this past week. In fact, we are on day 4 of no school - schools, roads, and homes have been flooded. Luckily, we have been okay, but it is scary. Please pray for the families and for the waters to safely recede.

Since we have hunkered down due to flooded roadways, we have not been able to get to the store. Our first night after the rain, I threw together a yummy pasta dish. Now, I love a good recipe - mainly because I am NOT good at coming up with my own meal. So, imagine my surprise when this dinner was SO GOOD. Best part? We licked our plates clean and didn't leave any leftovers #thatsafirst :)

This meal could be changed in so many ways - change your veggies or add some meat/shrimp. My husband suggested Italian sausage - yum!

Ingredients.

8 oz. fettucini

5-6 lunch peppers (chopped) 

2 C. spinach

2 squares of Land O Lakes Garlic and Herb butter 

1/2 t. red pepper flakes

Salt and pepper, to taste

Parmesan cheese, for topping

We love this lunch peppers! Great for snacking, too.

These little squares are full of flavor. You will find them next to the butter at the grocery store.

Instructions.

1. Cook pasta according to instructions and drain.

2. Saute peppers and spinach with one butter square.

3. Add cooked pasta to the veggies and mix with the second butter square.

4. Add red pepper flakes and seasonings, mix.

5. Top with desired amount of Parmesan cheese.

Once I make it back to store, I am doing this one over again! Share and/or pin it - it's so easy!

And BIG hugs to all my Houston friends. If I can get to you soon, I am going to bring you some pasta and wine! Until then, hang on to these promises - you are in my prayers.
