I know (almost) everyone loves Friday and that explains why TGIF is a popular acronym. Friday is often associated with fun and relaxation, but it’s the opposite for me. Fridays to Sundays are usually crazy busy, so I eagerly anticipate Mondays as a day to rest and recharge. I typically sleep in, order food instead of cooking, and do things I enjoy, like blogging.
Since Mondays can be a drag for most people, you probably need a quick and easy meal to cook. This Easy Farfalle Veggie Pasta is a great option because it’s quick and simple to make. I used mixed peppers and tomatoes in this recipe, but you can add any vegetables you have on hand, such as eggplant, zucchini, or asparagus. I also love to add rocket (also known as arugula), which is a herb with a peppery, slightly bitter flavor that adds a unique kick to pastas. Rocket is also a good source of vitamins, so this recipe is a delicious way to get your daily dose of vegetables.
This Easy Farfalle Veggie Pasta is a versatile recipe that can be easily adapted to your preference. Feel free to add a protein of your choice, such as chicken, shrimp, or bacon, to make it a more substantial meal. If you’re looking for a quick and healthy meal, do give this recipe a try. You can get a delicious and satisfying meal on the table in no time!
