I think this may really be one of the laziest pasta salad dishes I have ever made for work lunch at home.
The spinach pasta packet was lurking in the back of one of the kitchen cupboards, pushed back as it not the most vibrant of colours. But it could no longer be ignored. Some of you may remember me sharing the Spinach Farfalle pasta in one of my In My Kitchen blog posts. It was the only pasta left on the supermarket shelves last year when everyone was panic shopping.The red peppers, artichokes and black olives all came out of a jar and chopped down and stirred into the cooked pasta. Then doused in even quantities with extra virgin olive oil and white wine vinegar and seasoned to taste. Lunch was served. Then it was back to day job, which is staring at the computer at words, then faces on Teams calls, more staring at the computer screen and honing in on words spoken amidst poor connectivity. Sometimes, its good to close down the computer screen. But then its onto turning on the TV screen; and if its not the TV screen its opening and turning pages of a book, which also means more words. I am loving reading words, but my eyes are wary. I think I need to visit the opticians, but presently with Coronovirus restrictions - that is on pause.
So roll on the spring, so that I can start turning thoughts to the garden and sowing seeds.
I am sharing this Lemon Orzo with Broccoli recipe with Soup, Salad and Sammies hosted by Kahakai Kitchen.
The red peppers, artichokes, and black olives sound like the perfect combination of flavors to me. I can only imagine how good this easy dish tasted.
ReplyDeleteThank you Judee.
DeleteThat looks like a tasty salad--I'm all for easy and lazy! ;-) Thanks for sharing it with Souper Sundays this week.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about eye fatigue--lately I have been doing a lot of computer-based things at work, more than usual. I love audio books when my eyes get tired. Very entertaining and I don't have to look at anything. Of course then the trick becomes not closing my eyes and falling asleep! ;-)
Thank you Deb. Good to hear that audio books are coming into their own, but i must admit i do like thumbing through books, something rather satisfactory about it.
DeleteLooks yummy and easy...
ReplyDelete~Have a lovely day!
Haha! I had the laziest rice bosl tonight, with frozen vegetables.... store bought mix of spices (!) ... and i must admit (against my will) that it was delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour "lazy" pasta salad looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you have a nice week-end!
Sounds good. Hope your keeping well. I will come on over later for a virtual visit of course.
ReplyDeletePasta salad is a good idea when working from home. My lunches are now very boring, mostly bread or leftovers from previous day.
ReplyDeleteThanks VegHog. We rarely have left overs! I feel my lunches are boring too, only so much pasta salad you can eat.
