Tonight is Italian/Pasta Night
Although tonight's meal is not Italian, but Jewish, it is a pasta dish.
The kids love this meal and requested a repeat, especially Kate who did not want me to forget about making garlic bread! Traditionally it is simply referred to as 'fideos'; the noodles are first sauteed in olive oil and then baked with just enough vegetable broth to soften them. After baking I crispen them in the oven on broil. I added kale and navy beans this time around. I know the kids will add some Better Than Sour Cream -it is just how they roll and this can be traditional as well.
Then they'll do an un-traditional thing and put it on some fresh garlic bread. Yeah, we live adventurously here.
