{CLOSED} Smart + Final $25 Gift Card Giveaway!

03/02/2011 By Charlene

This post may contain affiliate links, please see my disclosure policy.

I was recently challenged by Smart and Final to come up with a Mediterrean inspired pasta dish using some new products from the La Romanella line.

La Romanella offers a variety of pastas, olive oil, pasta sauce, parmesan cheese and much more.

So as some of you may know- whenever mediterrean flavors are involved I am usually in so I decided to whip up a quick pasta dish yesterday.  This has four ingredients and is very budget friendly.  I also thought this was a little lighter for spring and summertime meals.

I used La Romanella Organic Penne Pasta (from Smart and Final), artichoke hearts, feta cheese and sundried tomato pesto.  This meal was ready in a matter of minutes and can also dressed up with chicken or olives.

I made this as a fast lunch yesterday but serve with a green salad and dinner is ready!

**

Smart and Final wants you to be able to try these products for yourself so they have also provided one My Frugal Adventures reader with a $25 gift card!  These stores are located on the West Coast, you can find a list of Smart and Final locations here.

La Romanella is currently running a Facebook contest for two people to win a weekend trip to Sonoma!  Sonoma is just a short drive away from me so if anyone wins let me know and I will meet you for some wine tasting!

To enter to win just leave a comment below and let me know kind of pasta is your favorite!

BONUS ENTRY: And get a bonus entry if you subscribe to MFA via email, follow on Twitter or like me on Facebook .  Be sure to leave a second comment letting me know!

*Please be sure to actually leave a comment below.  Any emails, Facebook messages or tweets will not be counted.  If you are viewing this in a reader just click through to the blog to leave your comment.

This giveaway will run through Friday at noon PST.
