Due to my work schedule, It tend to come home late in the evening. I haven’t been getting home till past 9pm lately and instead of purchasing take-out food, I try to save money by whipping up something I find in my fridge. I love grocery shopping, much more than clothes shopping. I can spend hours in a grocery store, no, I DO spend hours in a grocery store. I enjoy going through each aisle and looking at all the different ingredients there. I do have a grocery list I follow, but there are always other enticing foods I check out.
This night I saw that I had 1 Zucchini, some mushrooms, onions, thyme (I had a lot of thyme leftover from my braised ribs dish) half a tub of sour cream and an opened jar of pesto sauce. There I also remembered I had some remaining fresh fettuccini pastas from a few days earlier, I decided to make a quick pasta. I didn’t have any meat except for Chorizo but I thought it would add good bite to the dish.
I cut the Chorizos and zucchini in thin long strips so that they resemble the fettuccini not to mention it will be easy to twirl with the pasta.
I put all the vegetables and thyme in a pan and cooked it till slightly tender
I then added sour cream and pesto sauce and combined everything all together
I then added the cooked pasta and VOILA! Dinner.
This was creamy, and slightly tangy and from the sour cream. My roommate enjoyed it very much. I also added a few tablespoon of pasta water to thin the sauce a bit cause it was a bit too thick. I like being creative and not always follow a recipe. I guess this is the excitement in my life.
