Grand Opening + Monster Pasta

by Julie @savvyeats on February 26, 2010

Happy Friday, friends!

I have two exciting things for this post to kick-off the weekend.

Number 1: My Open Sky Shop Grand Opening!

Today is the day of the GRAND OPENING of my Open Sky Shop. I have added a bunch of fun new products for you to check out, and two of them are on sale!

The Sagaform Oil/Vinegar set

are both on sale for a limited time only. Aren’t they beautiful? Who doesn’t like some good stoneware?

Check them out and take advantage of the sale while you still can!



Number 2: A New Recipe!

The sauce is thick and creamy, without actually containing any cream.

Yep, it is neon-green. But that just makes it more fun, right?

This is super-filling, but oh-so-good. Since the sauce was inspired by the beloved Green Monsters, I’ve dubbed it…

Monster Pasta

1/2 c. chickpeas (soaked, cooked and drained, or canned and drained)

1/4 c. tahini

1/3 c. water

4 T. olive oil + 1 tsp olive oil

1 1/2 -2 c. spinach

Salt, pepper, and chili powder to taste– blend

1/3 c. onion

1 c. broccoli (I used defrosted frozen broccoli)

2/3 c. whole grain pasta, cooked

Blend the chickpeas, tahini, 4 T. of oil, water, spinach and spices in a food processor until smooth. In the meantime, prepare the pasta.

   

Heat the onion and broccoli in a skillet over medium-high heat with 1 tsp. of olive oil. When tender, add the chickpea blend to the skillet and cook until heated through.

Serve over pasta.

I’m in love with your Monster pasta and want some for dinner tonight. I may need to convince Bobby to pull out the penne!

Hope your weekend is going fabulously!
