Cheated a bit and had this week’s Vegan Thursday on Wednesday so I could blog about it on Thursday. But of course I’ll still be eating vegan today (the real Vegan Thursday), too.
Last night, I tried a new product and resurrected an old fave: Butternut fries!
A big bowl of whole-wheat angel-hair pasta (tossed with spices, a little vegan butter, and a lot of broccoli)
With a side of Butter(nut) Me Up Squash Fries. The fries were just as sweet-n-perfect as always. And I fell head-over-heels for the new product: Gia Russa angel hair pasta. If you’ve tried whole wheat pasta in the past and weren’t a fan of the nutty flavor, run out and buy this! It doesn’t taste like whole wheat pasta at all.
Even more exciting than my dinner was that my mom joined me for the meal. I made her the same dinner as me, and she polished it off.
Actually, I made a few changes because she doesn’t like squash fries. Sacrilege, I know! (She also had a different bowl for her pasta, but I used mine for the photo shoot.
I love angel hair too! But I would say tagliatelle is my favorite 🙂
I had butternut squash last night too! Yum 🙂
My favorite pasta is the corkscrew kind! I don’t mind whole wheat at all, though quinoa pasta is my lastest obsession.
Mmm…your pasta looks delish!
oh shoot! i already forgot it was vegan thursday, i should have read blogs before eating breakfast!!! argh! that’s ok, next week i’ll try again :). i love angel hair too, but i think shells or rotini (those corkscrews) are my fave bc they hang on to sauce so well!
Butternut squash fries! Yea!!! And I’m glad to know about that pasta. I’ve been lookin’ for a good whole wheat angel hair.
I love pasta, especially whole wheat. I like the twirly kind; it holds sauce well and it’s fun to eat 🙂
That pasta doesn’t LOOK like whole wheat, either! Good 2 know there is a pasta brand that doesn’t go overboard with the WW flavor!
I’ve never been into semolina pastas, I grew up on the stringy wheat, buckwheat, and rice asian pastas like soba, somen, ramen, and saimin.
However, my boyfriend’s mother who has Celiac brought over some quinoa pasta the other night and I LOVED it. It didn’t make me feel bloated like regular semolina pasta, and it tasted great!
If I had to choose a shape though, it’d be orzo all the way! I love that it’s bite size and chewy.
I’m not really a “pasta girl,” but if I had to choose it’d be shells (cuz they trap all the sauce 😉 )
Feels like 1 degree?!? Girl, that’d be a gym day in my book
I’m joining in on the Vegan Thursday boat!!
I can eat noodles all day, 365 days a year!
