Quick and Tasty Dinner V1.0

When you don't have time to make a complicated meal.

Sometimes you just want to make something that is tasty but dont want to be in the kitchen more than 20 to 30 minutes, because you dont want to miss the movie or game. Just open the fridge grab a few ingredients and make a pasta dish. Now we do not want the family of friends think we thru this last minute, so to elevate the dish as EVO (extra virgin olive oil) like the one from Di Giovanna GERBINO and have a bottle chilling from the same vinegard VURRIA Rosato di Nerello Mascalese.

Note: Easy to follow links have been to added to certain ingredients not commonly found. Also links to the wines and evo have been added as the wine(s) mentioned are actually paired by a winery in Sicily and not found in the states. For quality ingredients that you can have delivered right to your front door, go to Amazon Fresh - follow this link or Amazon Whole Foods Market .
