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!
