After a day of travel, errand running and a full house cleaning all I wanted was to have a home cooked meal and an evening of relaxing. We picked up our fruit, veggies, and yogurt for the week but we didn’t have a ton of dinner items in the fridge. I started rummaging in the freezer and pantry and came up with Tomato and Edamame Curried Pasta.

 

Ingredients

1lb Tri-Color Rotini

1 28oz can Whole Tomatoes

1 package frozen, de-shelled edamame

1/2 cup Trader Joe’s Thai Red Curry Sauce

2 large handfuls of Baby Arugula

Pinch Red Pepper Flakes

Salt/Pepper

Parmesan

 

Directions

 

Cook pasta according to directions.

 

Preheat large skillet and add drained tomatoes and mash with a fork, cook for 2-3 minutes. Add edamame, red pepper flakes, and curry sauce and cook until thoroughly heated, another 2-3 minutes. Add drained pasta to vegetables and sauce.

 

Place arugula in bowl and top with pasta, vegetables and sauce. Grate just a tiny bit of parmesan on top.

We served this was a side of roasted mini potatoes, a good Monday evening after a weekend of travel kind of dinner.

Tomorrow it is back to the grind, but it is only a 4 day week. It is hard to believe it is the end of summer a week from today. Sigh. This summer went insanely fast!
