This has nothing to do with fashion but about something I love almost as much... FOOD! Being a busy college kid doesn't leave much time/ money for stocking up my kitchen but I try and eat as healthy as I can. When I do have the time I love to play around with a few ingredients to see what I can come up with!
Today I came home from work and saw a ton of spaghetti in my cabinet but did I have pasta sauce or butter? of course not! I started looking at recipes online but everything I found have too many ingredients that I didn't have. I found one that sounded fun and I cut out about half of the ingredients it called for... it was delicious and only took 20 minutes!
Here is what I came up with:
1 tablespoon, oil
1/2 medium onion chopped
2 cloves of garlic minced
1/4 cup red wine
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon italian seasoning
1/4 tablespoon black pepper
I started by sauteing the onion and garlic in the oil. When they started turning brown I stirred in the wine, sugar, lemon juice, italian seasoning and black pepper. Meanwhile I was cooking my spaghetti as normal. I let the sauce simmer until the pasta was cooked and I poured it on top! Because I can't eat pasta with parmesan cheese I sprinkled a little on last!
The sauce ended up being sweet, almost like a vinaigrette but the onions and garlic added a nice contrast. I was so excited about my creation I wrote it down and can't wait to make it again!
The recipe that I based this off of is from my favorite recipe website, http://allrecipes.com/
