Italian Pasta Bar Ingredients
Another Make it Your Way hit. The Italian Pasta Bar. I literally looked through my fridge and cupboards and put everything that looked Italian onto the giant Make It Your Way Board, boiled some noodles and turned it into the most popular do it your way dinner yet. You can use rice or other grains instead of the noodles or just toss it all on top of a big pile of lettuce. Cook the noodles al dente, drain and toss with a bit of Olive Oil. I let the kids assemble a big bowl of ingredients and then in a big wok, I quick fry it all with a bit of Veggie Broth (I make a small pitcher to put next to the stove) and mix in a bit of pasta or pesto sauce and top with cheese or basil. The ultimate Make it Your Way-Italian Pasta. YUM!
