20 minute 3 course Meal - Pasta

What if you could make dinner for you and your family in less time than it takes to pick up a pizza?

If your reading this you can! Its all about a system!

Featured Meal Plan:

Pasta with Meat Sauce
Garlic Bread
Caesar Salad

Ingredients:

A package of pasta
A Jar of your favorite tomato sauce
500grams ground chicken, beef or re-hydrated (vegetarian meat replacement)
Vegetables you like with pasta (I suggest onion, garlic, sweet peppers, mushrooms ad carrots)

1/2 loaf of bread (or a loaf of frozen garlic bread)
1/2 cup margarine
1 clove garlic

1 head of romaine lettuce
1/4 cup Caesar dressing
freshly ground black pepper

Instructions:

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to boil over high heat.

Meanwhile preheat your oven to 400 degrees.

Brown the meat in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat.

When meat is fully cooked add the vegetables and cook a few more minutes. 

Arrange the bread on a sheet pan and rub each slice on both sides with the halved garlic clove.

Add the sauce and reduce the heat to simmer.  The water should be boiling, as soon as it is add the pasta.

Butter the bread lightly on both sides and put it into the oven.

Wash the lettuce and put it in the serving bowl, season with freshly cracked black pepper.

Turn the bread over, stir the pasta and sauce.

Get out your serving dishes and a colander to drain the pasta.

Remove the bread from the oven and turn it off.  Plate the bread.

Toss the salad with as much dressing as you like. Serve.

Drain the pasta and serve topped with sauce.


Enjoy!!
