Pasta is the mid week life saver. It is fast, easy to prepare and filling. I keep a lot of different shapes of pasta on hand, along with a few key ingredients to throw together a fast pasta dish on those nights when I'm tired, the kids are hungry and cranky and I just need to get dinner on the table. Some items I recommend keeping stocked at all times are; canned diced tomatoes, balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, olive oil, fresh Parmesan, boxed white wine, onions and garlic. With these few items you can easily throw together a pasta dish, supplemented with whatever fresh meats, or veggies are in your refrigerator. Even without additional items you can make a great pasta sauce with the above items alone! This recipe calls for for fresh tomatoes and zucchini, but you could substitute any fresh vegetable you have on hand; spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, asparagus, you name it.
