Simple recipes, DIY and inspiration to make everyday a little more fun

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

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.

    I love pasta, ANY kind really. But my favorite is gnocchi and my Italian grandpa used to make it the best…especially good with a tomato vodka sauce.

    When I happen to run across Ziti I go a little crazy. It is one kind of pasta the stores I frequent don’t stock. And baked Ziti in a restaurant – wow! It was so common back in NJ where I grew up but not in CA. I am amazed to find Pastina in the stores now.
