Spinach Fettuccine





I usually use fettuccine, but tonight I substituted the shells and it was great, I actually preferred it with the shells. I used the montreal steak pepper (which I use a lot these days) because I was out of pepper and chicken stock and it has garlic in it.
 
Ingredients
1 lb large shells
1 lb frozen chopped spinach
1 onion chopped
1 cup 1/2 & 1/2
1 tbsp. flour
1 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tspn. McCormick Montreal Steak Pepper
2 pinches ground nutmeg
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation
In saucepan, prepare pasta as label directs, drain. Sauté onions in butter. Add thawed spinach. Sauté for 3-5 minutes. Add cheese, flour and spices. Stir to combine. Serve over cooked fettuccini. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until mixture boils and thickens; cook 1 minute. Add sauce to pasta in saucepan. Toss gently until well coated.

Raw Food Diet

Here is a link to a site I liked on raw foods. She has some awesome info on there and it's not loads and loads of pages and writing, a very simple web page. If you've ever been interested in going raw, it's just a great site to read up about it and there are plenty of links, info, recipes etc to browse thru and try out.  From Sad to Raw

Weekly Menu

I write my list of meals out and decide what I'm doing for dinner while cleaning up after breakfast. I either pick a meal to fit my schedule, or something I'm in the mood for - I work much better when I'm enthusiastic about something.
