Since I got my KitchenAid pasta attachments, I’ve been making pasta like a fiend. A couple of weeks ago, I shared with you a fresh spinach fettuccine recipe in a sun dried tomato sauce that was amazing. This time, I broke out the angel hair pasta cutter and made a tomato angel hair pasta that was incredibly fresh and light. You take your basic egg pasta recipe and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of tomato paste. Then, I made what I like to call my “green sauce” which was a combination of broccoli and spinach. Talk about fresh pasta!!

What a delicious and quick meal to put together. It’s not necessary to make your own pasta every time. I mean, who has time for that with kids, sports and homework? This is a good one to make when you’re going to a blog conference for the weekend and leaving hubby behind. It re-heats very well and he won’t starve. I know. I’m leaving tomorrow and he has plenty to eat while I’m gone.
