Pasta Puteneggsca ;)


I apologize for the lack of photo but this disappeared WAY too fast to photograph and when creating it I had no clue it was going to be so stinking amazing. But I can't not document this creation.

  • cavatappi noodles
  • pesto sauce (i cheated and used a jar)
  • half eggplant peeled sliced and diced (i cubed them)
  • half a bag of sweet peppers sliced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes

  1. Saute eggplant and peppers in olive oil
  2. Spice with salt pepper and garlic if desired for some flavor
  3. After the eggplant has softened and changed color add the diced tomatoes
  4. Continue cooking over low heat as the sauce thickens
  5. Boil pasta
  6. Drain pasta and mix pesto into pasta
  7. Add eggplant mixture to pasta
  8. Serve and enjoy!

Spinach Pesto Tofu


I had this for the second time today and combined it with the balsamic roasted brussel sprouts for a yummy and very filling dinner for the family. Last time, Josiah and I were licking our bowls. This time I put a tad too much evoo so we weren't licking anything, but noone left a drop on their plate... that is for sure. So I share with you to enjoy. :)


  • extra firm tofu
  • 2 cups spinach
  • 1/2 cup peanuts
  • a handful of pine nuts
  • 2 cups parmesan cheese
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1.5 cups of evoo


  1. drizzle tofu with evoo and broil for 15-20 minutes or until its the crunch that you prefer 

  2. dry tofu on towels
  3. mix the remaining ingredients in the blender until smooth
  4. drizzle the pesto over the tofu until properly saturated (you should have enough pesto to store for two or three more tofu blocks in freezer or fridge depending on how long until you use it again)
  5. Enjoy!
