This week's vegetables

Vegetables!

This week I have a few veggies left over.  I will use them though!  I think I'll chop, saute, and freeze everything that's left for a future vegetable soup.  Radishes are always a problem.  What can you do with them, other than eat them raw or put them in a salad? I do have a recipe for roasting them. Maybe I'll try that with my next batch.Or maybe I should give them to my mom and dad. I think they would eat them up.

We have eaten a lot of salads this week.  I like to make a salad with mixed greens, including spinach and arugula, and then add shredded mozzarella or Parmesan and chopped salami, dressing and a few croutons on top.  I remember how much I missed the salads when the greens stopped coming last year.

I made a pretty yummy fried rice one night with bok choy, garlic scapes, and garlic I still have left over from last year's CSA. I get just enough garlic to last one year!

But my best dish was this:  PASTA WITH SPINACH,WALNUTS, & CHEESE

1 T olive oil
3 slices bacon
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch spinach + one chopped baby zucchini + chopped bok choy
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

I sauteed all of the above together (bacon first til it was crispy) then added the rest. I had some sun dried tomatoes I threw in at the last minute too.

meanwhile I cooked thin spaghetti;
I drained the spaghetti, added a bit of olive oil, then the above vegetable mix. 
Then I added one half cup of grated Parmesan cheese.

Toss it all with a little salt and pepper; pile it on a plate with a touch more Parmesan.

It was so good I forgot to take a picture. Maybe next week. I think I'll make it again.
