What's For Dinner - Pasta & Steamed Artichokes!

Simple whole wheat pasta with tons of garlic, sauteed with olive oil, spinach from the garden, baby bellas and black olives. I added a touch of salt & pepper but the bold garlic flavor required little addition. Of course, it had to be topped with freshly grated parmiagiano reggiano.


We steamed 3 artichokes for about 30 minutes. It probably could have cooked for longer. It was supposed to be the appetizer, but we didn't realized it took that long! Dipped in freshly melted butter, it tasted dreamy. 


I think the black olives and parm were the only un-organic elements of this meal. We are slowly trying to convert as many of our staples as possible. It takes time, as it is NOT a cheap endeavor. But, the taste makes it sooooooo worth it!
