Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 I've had this recipe for months but never got around to making it. Made it for dinner and it was wonderful. Very easy, tasty and my nephew and his pals asked for seconds. Wish I would have tried this over the past holidays. Spinach Acini di Pepe 2 tsp olive oil 1 clove crushed garlic 1 shredded carrot 1/2 small onion chopped 2 cups vegetable broth 1 cup acini di pepe pasta (comes in a box and it's small round balls a little bigger than couscous 5 oz. frozen chopped spinach cooked and drained or 1 1/2 cups fresh spinach sliced salt and pepper to taste * optional chopped chili pepper Heat olive oil in sauce pan and saute garlice, onion and carrot about 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, pasta and spinach. heat to a boil and reduce the heat to simmer. Cover pan and let simmer for 15-20 minutes stirring occasionally until broth is absorbed. Fluff with fork and enjoy. " A smile is a curve that sets all things straight. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Excellent, thanks so much, Donna! This looks like the other one in that it's a one dish cook (love that) and it gets done quickly. I've never tried that type of pasta either - can't wait.
