30 minute meal? I am WAY too hungry for that


Alright Rachael Ray, I had to one-up you. Tonight I made a healthy and delicious dinner in 20 minutes. Actually, it may have been even less than that. After working at a wine tasting tonight, I came home with my stomach growling, and not wanting to grab fast food or stuff a sandwich into my mouth I decided I would actually cook.

This is what I threw together, and it literally took me the time it takes to boil water and cook pasta, with about as much thought as it takes to make a salad. Unfortunately, I can't give you exact measurements because I only cooked enough for myself and didn't keep track of it, but it is straightforward enough that you can figure it out or alter it depending on your taste.

I chopped up some yellow onion and garlic, sauteed it in olive oil and added some pine nuts. Once the nuts were beginning to toast I added chopped tomato and canned tuna. A few pinches of salt and pepper, some dried basil from my garden, a handful of spinach and a splash of white wine later and my sauce was ready. I added the linguine I had boiled during all of this, shredded some Parmesan on top and my dinner was complete.

Sorry Rach.
