Carb Overload

This past weekend, my friend Mike and I ran a 5K. The race was on Saturday morning, so Friday we decided, along with our friend Sharon, to have a pasta dinner. We used the recipe our friend Casey came up with, very simple and very delicious!
The ingredient list is short: Farfalle pasta, broccoli, sun-dried tomato, and olive oil.

Cook the pasta as usual. While the pasta is cooking, steam the broccoli. If you don't have a steamer, place the broccoli in shallow pan with enough water to half-way cover the veggie. Turn the heat up to medium, place a cover on the pan, and voila, homemade steamer! When pasta is done cooking, drain and add the olive oil (just enough to coat the pasta), steamed broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes. And you're done! For topping, we used either Parmesan or feta cheese... yum yum!

For dessert we "got crispy" with apple crisp (with local NH Macintosh apples of course!)! We used this recipe and doubled the crisp part. Very delicious!

Hi Mike!!
