Pantry Staple Pasta Sauce

We returned from a short vacation Friday night and Saturday was filled with all the errands except for grocery shopping. As a dinner time approached I turned to the cupboard to see what kind of thing I could cobble together.

Lentils and chickpeas provide a bit of protein in a vegetarian dish. We served it with some grated Parmesan cheese, cracked black pepper and a splash of extra virgin olive oil.

Sometimes dessert leads the way when planning our weekly Saturday night gathering menu. This week my husband had a hankering for some oatmeal raisin cookies. I said I’d make them on Saturday night. Then we finished up a particularly delicious batch of macaroni and cheese so we, obviously, needed to make more. Pork loin was on sale and then it was just a matter of choosing from the items at the farm stand to fill-in the rest of the menu.
