Fast, satisfying and the leftovers are great for lunch the next day. (adapted from babble.com)
large box chicken broth (4 cups)
4 tablespoons jarred tomato sauce
1/2 lb angel hair pasta, broken in half
8 fresh basil leaves
1-2 tablespoons olive oil
grated parmesan cheese for serving
Combine broth and tomato sauce and bring to a simmer. Add noodles and cook until al dente, according to directions on the box. Stir in basil leaves.
Drizzle each serving with the olive oil, and add plenty of parmesan cheese.
*This would probably freeze fine, but I haven't yet since the recipe is so easy. Ditto for making ahead.
Hi! I visited your blog because of a comment you'd made on a NY Times piece - linked to by Words To Eat By (do you know this blog?) I've just started blogging, too, about feeding the family, trying to encourage trying new foods (sigh...) I love your ideas! Wild rice chicken supreme sounds delicious... (my kids hate stuff that's mixed up! - sigh, again) I don't face the challenge of working full time, though, so hats off to you! Congrats on a great blog and I'll hope you'll stop by to visit mine sometime, too! http://mealtimemeltdown.blogspot.com/
