could go for a bowl right now...


i am usually pretty good about bringing my lunch to work, but there is a natural food store near work that has an amazing prepared food section, and occassionally i like to treat myself to some of their szechwuan eggplant. last time i went i was a bit early for the usual, and tried a blue cheese pasta salad instead. yumm. i recreated it for dinner lastnight...

toss some cooked pasta with olive oil that you have sauteed some garlic and shallot in, season with salt and pepper. let cool slightly. toss the tossed pasta with toasted walnuts, crumbled bluecheese (danish for me) and baby spinach. enjoy.

oh, also- remember to be careful when seasoning the pasta initially, as bluecheese can get a bit salty. better to go light and correct later... but of course you all knew that.
