365 days of dinner: Jan. 1, 2009

January 2nd, 2009 at 04:26 pm

NT had the idea to try and photograph what we eat for dinner every day this year. We'll see if we end up enjoying it enough to keep it up! If you want a recipe for anything homemade you see in this series, let me know and I will edit the entry to add it.

Last night we had whole-wheat penne pasta with lemon, pepper, sun-dried tomato and spinach (prepared by NT), with wholemeal focaccia (by AS).

Recipe follows photo.



Ingredients:
2T white wine
1t white wine vinegar
6 sun-dried tomatoes, julienned
2 tomatoes, diced
1T dried oregano
1/2 cup (packed) fresh basil OR 3T dried basil
1/2 onion, small dice
1 red pepper, medium dice
4 cloves garlic
zest of 1 lemon
juice of 1 lemon
1 bunch fresh spinach, chopped
1 jalapeno (1/2 seeds removed)
1T black pepper
penne pasta

Directions:
Cook pasta - time start of cooking to end when sauce ready
Sautee onion until turning translucent, then add garlic, jalapeno and red pepper.
Sautee 3 mins, then add wine, vinegar & lemon juice.
Sautee 1 min; add tomato, sun-dried tomato, lemon zest, pepper & herbs.
Sautee 5 mins, then add spinach; cook until wilted.
Drain pasta and mix into sauce.
