An update on recent store closure for those of you looking to cash in on the clearance sales; remember be respectful to their employees and the store! Liquidation is not an excuse to be an asshole!
Finally here's a tasty recipe I made this week that was ridiculously cheap and easy to make!
Ingredients:
1 box of penne pasta (I used a gluten free legume pasta but if you're non-celiac you can get regular penne pasta for about a buck)
Drizzle of olive oil
2 cups chopped fresh tomatoes
2 fresh zucchini sliced
4 cloves of cut fresh garlic (I really like garlic)
garlic salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Wash and cut zucchini and tomatoes
slice up garlic cloves
sautee zucchini, tomatoes, and garlic in olive oil until soft (I like my veggies a little firmer so do this to your own liking) and then season with garlic salt and pepper. If you'd like your veggies with a little "sauce," add a small amount of water to the pan.
While you're sauteeing the veggies, boil the pasta as directed on the box - when all done combine the two and top with your preferred pasta additions (pepper flakes, Parmesan cheese, etc).
That's it! Super easy, super tasty, and cost me almost nothing to make and feed five people with!
