A Spoonful of Sofrito: A Pinch of advice that will add a lot of flavor to your life.
Pasta a la David with Veggies!
Sofrito Lovers,
Last night, I made my BearBear David his favorite dish, Pasta a La David, but with few a veggie surprises.
Pasta a la David is a dish I invented for him because he loves pasta and how I prepare it. The dish consists of any type of pasta with marinara sauce cooked with grape or cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, and chopped onions. The ground beef is seasoned with Italian spices, salt, and pepper and sauteed with the veggies.
Last night, I added some zucchini for extra flavor and nutrition. David hates veggies, but will eat them in pasta sauce, so I decided to push the envelope and get him to like something green and good for him. Luckily, he loved it; he had two servings!
Feeling proud and kind of braggadocious, I've decided to share the recipe below; I hope you enjoy! Taste it for yourself! ¡Buen Provecho!
