During most of the year, if I am making a ‘short’ pasta dish, I add vegetables to it, making it a quick, one-dish dinner.
I don’t do that when using ‘long’ pasta (spaghetti, tagliatelle, etc.) and I don’t do it in the fall when we are eating the acorn and / or delicata squash at every meal.
Besides, I try not to be too predictable.
Mon mari is happy as long as I add big handfuls of sage.

I saw a bunny today.
Actually, I saw it twice. I’m sure it was the same one as it went in and out of the same link in the fence both times.
It’s the first one I’ve seen all summer. The neighbor / farmer plowed and planted the field that had been home to all the bunnies and it appeared that they had all moved on to new living quarters. Now that it’s harvested it seems some have moved back.
Oh well…. The potager is done for the year and it will give Guapa something to bark at. I’ll have to remember to close the gates securely again. I don’t want a big one to get stuck inside….. Poor old Guapa would wear herself out quickly trying to chase it around.
This looks yummy! We like one dish meals like this. I usually leave all the liquid from the tomatoes in, add a little extra tomato juice and just toss in the pasta and let it cook in the pot with everything else rather than dirty two pots. 🙂
We have lots of buns all the time here. We also have Ring cameras outside and when there’s movement within their range, a chime goes off on our phones. Lately, the chimes have been going off a lot because the buns are eating all of my Hollyhock Malva by the back door in what I’m guessing is an effort to fatten up for the upcoming colder weather. It’s driving Murphy crazy because he knows what those chimes are. He barks until we tell him to stop, lays down and waits for the next chime to go off, then starts all over. He can’t chase them though because he goes out on a ‘run’. Even though we’re on three acres, we’re also 350 feet from a fairly busy road and that’s the first direction he heads when he’s not on that run leash. sigh
I’ve done that with orzo but never with larger pasta – have to try it next time.
I don’t think Guapa sees them all the time but she can smell them so goes looking when she’s out. But she only goes out at night – she does a lot of barking without knowing why lol
