I’m totally new to doing Organizing Junkie’s Menu Plan Monday, but I’m determined to start today. I actually know what we’re having today and tomorrow so that will be easy. We were in Walmart yesterday and I noticed this cute pasta. Yes, pasta can be cute! I have grown to love using Farfalle Pasta in soups because if I let it cook longer in the soup, it enlarges and is kinda like dumplings. Well, I saw MINI Farfalle in Walmart and thought they were adorable. My husband picked out a new pasta sauce that sounds very yummy. And I stopped at Albertson’s to get chicken tenders on sale in the meat market section. So…here’s my first “Menu Monday”:
Monday: Barilla’s MINI Farfalle (bowtie) Pasta with Bertolli’s Portobello Mushroom Sauce, bite-sized chicken breast tenders cooked in EVOO to top the pasta & sauce, & salad
Tuesday: Left-overs from last night
Wednesday: Mediterranean Tuna and Spinach with Green Olives :
INGREDIENTS:
- 16 ounces frozen chopped spinach
- 1-2 cans Albacore Tuna
- 1 cup cooked pasta (Barilla Plus Multigrain Pasta is great)
- 1 tablespoon Evoo
- 1-2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- Green olives
- Dill weed
- Fresh ground pepper
- Salt
Cook the spinach according to directions. Add the remaining ingredients. Add dill weed, peppper and salt to taste.
Thursday: I just realized I can’t complete the rest of this because our son is coming home from college for a long weekend, and I want to ask him what he has a taste for.
We love the picolini pasta from barilla. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Christine, thanks for stopping by my blog, too. I’ll have to try some different varieties of the picolini pasta.
I love the mini bowties! Our son likes them too, and will eat them with no sauce or anything if we let him. 🙂

Christi, that’s neat. I wonder if Barilla created these with kids in mind. Probably! 🙂
