Pasta pronto
It’s your kids’ P.E. day and they will be home in about half an hour. They will want more than a light afternoon snack. Problem? No… Whip up a pasta dish in 20 minutes!
We’re normally prepared when the kids get home from school. But things did not run their usual routine today. Meaning I lost track of time. See, I hardly get to watch TV when the kids are home. They just switch the channels from Disney to Nickelodeon to Cartoon Network and I haven’t the heart to compete with them since they only get to enjoy their usual shows for an hour or two before starting with their homework. I don’t watch much TV when they’re in school either because that’s when I do my writing and reading. I end up watching movies after they have gone to bed. And, sometimes, I have to compete with my husband’s “shows” (cars, motorcycles).
So, today, I was finished with my writing and reading about an hour after lunch. I decided to check what was on HBO and Cinemax. Well,… 3,000 Miles to Graceland was on. I’ve seen it once before so I knew it was a good movie. I got so wrapped up with it I didn’t notice the time. I had 30 minutes left to prepare something for the kids. I had to think and act fast.
I boiled the water for the pasta while chopping the vegetables and preparing the rest of the ingredients. By the time the pasta was in the water, I was cooking the sauce. I was watching the clock because the kids would be home anytime. My pasta dish took 20 minutes from boiling the water to transferring the cooked dish to a serving plate. So, I called it Pasta Pronto.
