Yes I'm still alive, and yes I'm making food


Sorry all, I've been a bit MIA. I promise you I have been making food, just not documenting appropriately. Consider the following my apology letter.

Because I love pesto so much, I made yet another concoction.

Ingredients:
  • 1 small yellow squash
  • 1 oz chopped green onions (chives)
  • 1 small bunch of broccoli (yes, broccoli for the nonbelievers)
  • Slightly less than 1/4th C olive oil
  • About 2/3 C water
  • 2 T light margarine
  • 2 T light cream
  • Dash of skim milk
  • Dash of garlic powder
  • 1/4th-1/3rd C grated parmesan cheese
  • Packet of pesto mix
  • 1/4th a box of penne pasta

Directions:
  • Cook pasta as directed, then set aside mixing with an extra T or so of olive oil
  • In a separate small pot, simmer margarine and olive oil
  • Add in water, pesto, and bring to a boil while stirring constantly
  • Once it reaches a boil, toss in squash and green onion, then reduce heat to a simmer for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally
  • Add in milk, cream, and broccoli and stir a bit
  • Add dash of garlic then taste to see if you want to add more of any of these ingredients
  • Check to see that vegetables are done
  • Pour sauce over desired amount of pasta and CONSUME
