Read All About It

Last night, I cooked dinner. I am trying to eat more healthfully, so I started with whole wheat penne. It was really good, which surprised me. For the sauce, I began by sautéing ground turkey sausage with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. I set aside the sausage and browned a head and a half of garlic in butter in the same pan. To that, I added some chopped spinach, just until it started to wilt. I poured in a large can of small diced tomatoes and stirred. I simmered that with more salt, more pepper, a little cayenne, some oregano, and some basil. I sat down to eat and paired my pasta with a slice of whole wheat bread that had been slathered with butter and roasted garlic and then broiled. It was delicious, all of it.
