An impasta!
Nooodles! Noodle, Noodle, Noodle.
Yesterday, I read a cute quote on Pinterest. "If anyone ever tells you your dreams are silly, remember, there's some millionaire walking around who invented the pool noodle." Cute, right? There is a great (and short) article about the inventor of the pool noodle (Steve Hartman) here by Robert Osborne.
But, back to the edible kinds of noodles....
I love a tasty pasta salad. This one is quick and easy, a perfect lunch option for those with little time. I used some Ramen whole wheat noodles because they were on hand and they cook fast (like under 4 minutes!). Looking over the fridge, I found some kale, tomatoes and feta, and BAMZERS there was lunch.
Here's what you need:
1 pack of Ramen (I used Hakubaku Organic Ramen Noodles from World Market, comes with 3 packs)
some cherry tomatoes, sliced
1 tablespoon of sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1 large handful of chopped kale
some plain feta crumbles
1-2 teaspoons of aged Balsamic vinegar
1-2 teaspoons of fresh lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste
Boil water, add a dash of salt and a teaspoon or two of olive oil to the pot. Once boiling add noodles.
Get'um in there.
Cook for about 3 minutes and 30 seconds, then drain under cold water.
Take some grape tomatoes (these are from my garden, she said humbly...or not so...).
Slice'um up and add to a medium sized bowl.
Add in some diced sun dried tomatoes too. Flava parteeeee.
Top with a handful of chopped kale.
Some plain feta crumbles.
Some aged Balsamic vinegar and fresh lemon juice.
Take noodles (should be room temperature to cold after draining and running under cold water).
Add to bowl.
Mix. Toss. Twist around until incorporated. Add salt and pepper to taste and Bamzers, there is lunch.
This is awesome, but the Peanut Butter Brownies are my one weakness.:)
