Tonight we are cooking together as we like to and have been inspired by watching the movie 'Chef'. The movie was good and about the cooking of some wonderful food. It was also about blogging and social media. We have decided to give my blog new life and an extra theme by adding one night of cooking together to it.
We could not find a recipe tonight that suited our mood and living in a small mountain town can be limited. Not so much on the choice of food but the time it takes to get to the store (and the lack of wanting to go) to purchase what we may need and want. So we decided to wing it and make it up as went along inspired by the flavors we craved and wanted for dinner.
Tonight Pasta and Shrimp. I wasn't feeling a cream sauce. Nick wanted Pesto. Alas no basil. The Roslyn Market had fresh salad greens, fresh spinach, homemade bread and fresh Crimini mushrooms. Nick and I are not writers of recipes we are creators of flavors. So if you are looking to get a recipe perhaps you best move your ass over to Epicurious.
Ingredient List:
Pasta Mama's Pasta (Plain Linguine)
Shrimp
Fresh Spinach
Garlic ( Fresh Minced)
Lemon Juice
Red Pepper Flakes
Small sweet peppers
Avocado Oil ( Out of Olive and this shits good shit although Olive Oil would have added more flavor.)
Pine nuts lightly toasted
Green onions sliced
Bacon
Farmers Market Baguette
This was sliced into rounds seasoned with Avocado oil, Happy salt and fresh minced garlic and baked on a cookie sheet at 350 degrees for 10 minutes and lightly browned. We dipped it into a bowl of balsamic vinegar.
