Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

April 16, 2018 by Lovoni | Leave a Comment

Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes: for when you require the fan-fare without any of the fuss. Pick up a package of ready-made tortellini or ravioli & in the few minutes it takes for the pasta to cook, the sauce is ready. Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

I know I often clap on about how homemade, from-scratch food is best. Well yes, of course it is. You know what’s in your food when you make it yourself. And homemade pasta is really quite special. But, when you’re in the middle of home renos, like I am, or you’re inviting friends over after work, having a meal you can throw together in 15 minutes is a godsend. 

Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

I made this quickly for my husband & me, but I have no qualms serving it to friends at a dinner party. I’d add a salad, warm crusty bread & wine (of course). And serve a bowl of strawberries & some whipped cream for dessert. And if you are entertaining guests, what about Goat Cheese, Zucchini & Pea Crostini to start the meal? I love how the Italians cook & eat. They don’t stress & fuss about food like we do in this part of the world.

Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Speaking of stressing & fussing about food, this week I’m doing a 5-day juice fast: a spring clean for my body. Truthfully, I’m absolute crap at sticking to it but I feel so much better even after day one so I need to stick with it. In that short time I sleep peacefully, feel brighter & lose weight. A juice fast is a good way to reboot my system because carrots & celery never taste as good as they do when I’ve not eaten solid food for days. Once I’ve completed the five days, then my plan is to replace one of my meals with juice, most likely breakfast, & to focus more heavily on plant-based foods. I’m not giving up meat & dairy, just cutting back. And I’m not getting crazy about it as in preaching about it. I know I’ll be making Orange & Fennel Amalfi Salad as one of my first meals – light & fresh, making it a perfect transition back to food after my fast. 

Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes is definitely not on the menu for me this week but it was last week & we thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved how good it was for minimal effort. How often does that happen? 

Until next time, take care, 

Tortellini with Spinach, Artichokes & Sun-Dried Tomatoes

If pasta isn’t your schtick, just make the sauce and have the sauce & chicken over rice or if you’re wanting to go lighter on the carbs, serve the sauce & the chicken over broccoli just like I’m doing tonight. A chicken dinner winner 🤣🤣🤣. I’ve been absent for a couple of weeks so needed a shit joke to kick-off being back.

Studio makeover. My studio needed a makeover & new Studio makeover. My studio needed a makeover & new windowsills after some water damage last year (we had to get the roof replaced). So it seemed like a good time to turn my studio into a more inspiring room that matched the rest of the house. I have props in cupboards around the house but wanted the ones I use the most in the studio. I used the top of a hutch (cupboard) I already had from @summerhousefarm & the bottom from @oldetymemarketplace. 
Still a few things to do but back at it tomorrow. I’m going to try and share the ‘before’ otherwise I’ll share it in my stories.
