And my friends realized that too, so they have helped me out. One brought over food from her garden at home, and we roasted some squash and carrots. They were divine! And on top of that, we made green bean fettucini with a little habanero sauce :) I like it spicy!
Roasted Veggies
Ingredients
Whatever vegetables you choose (we used carrots, onions, and squash. I've also done it with tomatoes)
Olive oil
Cajun seasoning (I use Slap Ya Mama)
Garlic powder
Paprika
Cut the vegetables to your liking - you don't want them too thin, but the thinner they are the faster they cook. Make sure they are of equal size so nothing cooks unevenly.
Roast at 400°F for approximately 20 minutes (the thinner they are, the faster they cook... or the opposite). Cook until opaque and tender.
Spicy Fettucini
Ingredients
Oil from roasted veggies
Olive oil
1/2 box fettucini, cooked
Large handful of green beans
Salt
Habanero sauce
2 cloves of garlic, minced
Cook the green beans in the olive oil and garlic. Once the fettucini is finished, toss in the noodles with the green beans. Add in the oil from the roasted veggies, salt to taste, and about 6 drops of the habanero sauce. Toss and serve.
Now that was easy!
Ciao e Bella Cucina!
