All the dreamers in all the world are dizzy in the noodle. ~ Edie Adams<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Call me dizzy, call me a dreamer, call me noodle-crazy, but if you ask me, green noodles are fun!\u00a0 Agreed? Green Noodles ARE Fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Which is why I am suggesting (not telling you what to do, because nobody likes to be told what to do<\/em>) that for this incredibly and comforting Creamy Linguine Pasta<\/strong><\/em> recipe you use spinach linguine.<\/strong> (Based on recipe from Sunflower Markets magazine)<\/em><\/p>\n

CREAMY LINGUINE<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Ingredients:\u00a0<\/strong> <\/em>
\n1 box (16 oz) spinach linguine\u00a0 (green)
\n2 tablespoons olive oil
\n1\/2 cup sliced red onion\u00a0 (red)
\n1\/2 cup sliced mushrooms
\n3 cloves garlic, minced
\n1 cup halved cherry tomatoes (red)
\n2 cups (or more – go crazy if you like) baby spinach\u00a0 (green)
\n1\/2 cup chopped black olives (black)
\n1\/3 cup chopped fresh basil\u00a0 (green)
\n4 eggs
\n6 tablespoons grate Parmesan cheese<\/p>\n

Instructions:<\/strong><\/em>
\nIn a large pot, cook pasta until not quite, but nearly al dente.\u00a0 (You are going to return to hot ater, so you really do want less than al dente.)<\/p>\n

While pasta is cooking …
\n… in a medium skillet heat olive oil and saute: onions, mushrooms until tender.
\nStir in garlic and mix around for another minute (remember you minced it good, so it shouldn’t take more than a minute).
\nStir in tomatoes and olives, cook for another 4 minutes, or until tomatoes are tender.
\nToss in baby spinach, saute until wilted.
\nAdd basil, remove from heat.<\/p>\n

Back to your pasta …
\n… drain all but 1 cup of pasta water.
\nWith focus, determination and speed return hot pasta to water on stove top.
\nAdd eggs, stirring with vigor!
\nAdd tomato mixture.
\nToss like your a mad scientist.
\nSeason with salt n’ pepper to taste.
\nSprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan.<\/p>\n

As you can see, green is important.\u00a0 You’ve got your greens, your reds, your black olives and various shades of neutral throughout.\u00a0 Go Green \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
