Put a pen on it

So there are often times when I think to myself, "this really worked with Veer, maybe I should share it with the other Moms!" And there are other times when I look to other moms to get their reactions to something absolutely crazy that I put to test with my baby boy.
There are also times when I want to share some cooking ideas, some playtime techniques or basic fashion with other new Moms without really being in their face.

Moms need a place where they can do their victory dance and also where they can vent their frustrations. Mommy groups are great, but sometimes it becomes a Pi***g contest (in a man's world). I just want to pen down my days of happiness and crazies and let people decide if they want to use my 2 cents or not!

So here I am with my little blog, writing away my days and embossing them as memories a.k.a - "Putting a pen on it"

Take what you please :)

Tomato ricotta pasta sauce

Veer loves pasta! It's the only form of food he knows enough to ask me for it. I think it is extremely endearing when your baby says pasta without the "s". :)
Oh well, so I found a system that works. Tangy tomato pasta sauce with a veggie and protien boost. Say hello to our baby friendly pasta sauce that can be made husband friendly by adding hot sauce or chili flakes and yay - you can whip a meal for the household!

Our secret pasta recipe from our home to yours 😄 enjoy!

Ingredients :

Whole wheat cooked pasta sautéed in butter
2 plum tomatoes
Half a green pepper
Half a small carrot
Half a zucchini
One small onion
One clove garlic
Herbs : oregano and basil
2 tsp olive oil
2 tbs ricotta cheese
Parmasean cheese to garnish

Method :

Dice the onion, carrots, zucchini and garlic and sauté the vegetables in olive oil. Add the herbs to this mixture.
In an oven roast the green pepper and tomatoes for 30 minutes (drizzle olive oil on the veggies and place them on a cookie sheet to roast)
Once roasted, blend tomatoes and green peppers and add to the sauted vegetable mix. Add in a little water to get adjust the consistency to your liking. Add the ricotta to this mixture and mix well.

Season with pepper, herbs and a pinch of sugar. ( I usually avoid salt as parmasean has a salty taste to it)

Add the cooked pasta to this sauce and season with parmasean cheese.

This is a hearty and heavy meal that we enjoy once a month 😄
