This simple weeknight meal is comprised of sauteed veggies and a hearty helping of linguine. It's comforting, it's delicious, and it's perfect any night of the week.
The most simple things can bring the most happiness. This truthful sentiment stands in more ways than one.
Take dinner for instance, the best doesn't always mean it has to be complicated.
Most of us thrive on simple meals. It brings us more time to be together, to get more done and to have some time to ourselves by the end of the day. However, we must not subject ourselves to boring dinners in the process.
Bursting with flavor and fresh veggies, this saute is both simple and complex. There are hints of spice, subtle notes of Asian flare with every bite, and for an extra hardiness, I tossed it all together with linguine, though you can use any noodle you like.
Delight in the simple things in life!
