Here is a quick and simple meal plan for the coming week. I hope it helps you, at least one night this week, to not have to spend too much time planning a meal.
Italian-Themed Pasta Night
Main Dish: Hearty Sourdough Pasta with Beef and Tomato Sauce
- Ingredients: Extra Lean Grass Finished Ground Beef, Kaslo Sourdough Classic Linguini, Beefsteak Tomatoes, Cooking Onions, Garlic, Organic Italian Blend Herbs, Herbes de Provence Chevre (for garnish), Olive Oil (assuming you have this basic ingredient).
- Preparation:
- Start by sautéing chopped onions and minced garlic in oil of your choice in a large pan until the onions are translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the pan with the onions and garlic. Cook until the beef is thoroughly browned.
- Blend beefsteak tomatoes to create a fresh tomato sauce and add it to the pan with the browned beef, onions, and garlic.
- Season with the Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Let the sauce simmer.
- Meanwhile, boil water and cook the sourdough linguini until al dente.
- Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and add it to the sauce. Toss to combine.
- Garnish with crumbled Herbes de Provence Chevre before serving.
