Spinach Spirals with Goat Cheese and Roasted Red Pepper!

Super easy and so delicious!
Whole grain spinach spirals and red pepper are perfect paired with a creamy goat cheese sauce.

I roasted the pepper in the oven at 350 for about 20 minutes then chopped them and threw them into the boiling pasta water for abot 10 minutes.
This infused the flavor a bit and softened the peppers.

I started with about 2 tbsp. of butter, 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1/2 cup of half and half, and 1 cup of sour cream.
Let this simmer for a few minutes then add a half a cup or more to taste of soft goat cheese.

Drain the pasta and mix in the goat cheese with the red pepper and stir.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

This is a great meatless meal, nutritious and filling.
Enjoy!

Roasted Veggies with Fritatta and Arugula Salad for a Late Afternoon Lunch!
Posted by Shelly Perry (11/03/2010 @ 9:23 pm)

These roasted vegetables are the perfect dish for a sunny Autumn afternoon lunch.
Beautiful Donna, from Italy, made this light lunch for me and my BFF.

Roasted sweet potatoes, red peppers and zucchini with olive oil and salt and pepper in a 425 degree oven for about an hour is all it takes.
These were fantastic and tasted great with the mozzerella cheese fritatta with a hint of sauteed onion.
A light touch is the perfect ingredient.

Arugula salad with walnuts and dried cranberries is herb and berry freshness.

Eggs make a great light but protein and nutrient rich meal when you’re trying to eat light or stay on a tight budget.
