It’s a week packed with all sorts of work projects and
celebrations – our little guy turns 3! So, I’m planning a quick meal from
“Weeknights with Giada” by Giada De Laurentiis, followed by a little downtime
with the kids, party preparations, book editing and indulging in some Nashville drama (which I sometimes live tweet :) with my honey.
I’ve cooked most of my life and love sharing food and stories
with family and friends. I aspire to be a New York Times Bestselling author,
and you can imagine I stay pretty busy as a wife, mom, freelance writer and
budding novelist.
Even on busy weeknights, I like to prepare meals at home. It
gives me a chance to feed my family quick, healthy and delicious meals like
this one for Wagon Wheel Pasta with Pancetta and Peas, and indulge my inner
Food Network Star.
I have an entire bookshelf in my kitchen dedicated to
cookbooks and recipes, so there are many choices. Giada’s cookbook was a gift,
and I’ve found several recipes in it that worked for us. If you’re busy and
need a good family-friendly meal, try this one. In order to use what we already
have and keep the troops happy, I reduced the peas just a bit and added in some
carrots. Even our kids love this!
Here’s a link to Giada’s website where you can learn more.
If you want the full recipe, I think you need to sign up or buy the book. Check
it out, she has other recipes available online.
