Quick pasta

I made some whole grain pasta and then made a quick sauce. The sauce was:

- diced tomatoes
- 1/2 onion
- garlic
- a few jalapeƱos
- basil

I sauteed those up and then pureed them. I then added some cream and some Parmesan. I added this to some scapes and green beans from the csa.

Pan-Asian Cuisine!!!

This time I made a soup using kohlrabi, peas, green beans, garlic scapes and cauliflower. The base was sesame oil, ginger, garlic, veg. broth, nutritional yeast, Thai sweet chili sauce.



Shot with the longer cooking vegetables and broth.



Other veggies that were added after removed from flame.

I then fried up some pot stickers and added them.
