This dish is easy to make and the ingredients all keep for weeks (except for spinach, but you could sub broccoli, zucchini or asparagus, whatever green veggie you have):
whole wheat organic Penne pasta ~1/3 box
Goat cheese about 1/2 of 1 small packet
Dried basil ~2 Tbsp
Olive oil ~3 Tbsp
Walnuts ~1/2 cup, toasted
Spinach (or green vegetable of your choice) ~ 1-2 cups
Salt and pepper to taste
________________
Toast 1/2 cup chopped walnuts (~5 min in oven at 350º spread out on a baking sheet)
[my sister-in-law says to “roast every nut that comes in your house”]
Bring 1/3 box of penne to a boil (~10 minutes)
once pasta is cooked and drained add all of above ingredients and stir thoroughly
*serve immediately to avoid spinach wilting or cheese clumping
