Today was one of
those days. I just needed carbs. Not a piece of toast, not a cracker, but a
massive bowl of pasta. This could in part have corresponded to the fact that I was
slightly hungover, but I’d like to think it was more due to the kickass workout
I had at the gym earlier. Either way, pasta was needed.
I fooled around with
some inspiration I’d seen online and what I had in the fridge, and came up with this
lovely dish. Super easy and really fast. The goat cheese adds a little comfort,
while the lemon really brightens things up. I think adding chickpeas actually
would have made it infinitely better and will be doing that with my leftovers. Or maybe even sundried tomatoes.
All it takes is some
pasta boiled in salted water (I used quinoa pasta) and after its done, put about
a cup of the water in a large saucepan, add in about 4 oz goat cheese, a bag of
spinach, the juice of half a lemon and some zest from it, and stir to combine
over medium heat until the spinach is wilted. Throw in the pasta, top with finely chopped walnuts
for some added protein, and maybe a sprinkle of Parmesan, and voila! Carb craving
satisfied.
