Basta, Pasta!

Week 24 (June 16)
We were in the mood to try a new pasta recipe today but wanted something easy and light to make. We already have our go-to recipe for homemade pasta sauce and have always wanted to try to make a fettuccine alfredo, but since Geoffrey doesn't like cream cheese or butter, it is usually a little difficult to find a recipe he would approve of. But, when we got our Real Simple magazine, we found the Creamy Fettuccine with leeks, corn and arugula recipe and it was pretty close to what we were looking for.

So we cut up the leeks and soaked them in water to remove any dirt.

We sauteed the vegetables and added the heavy cream.

Then added the pasta and arugula.

We served it with some bread, cheese and salami.

Our rating for this recipe was 7.75 (Mayra 7, Geoffrey 8.5).

What's wrong with Steve?

I watched All About Steve this weekend and kinda liked it.  Sandie was at her silliest best and Bradley Cooper even looked good with that weird haircut. The supporting cast were funny and even endearing at times.  I chuckled out loud a few times and am considering buying some red boots! I don't know what all the fuss was about...sure, it was not the best movie, but I have seen far worse (ahem, Wild Things, Hostel). Plus, the message at the end is that it is ok to be different. How can you not like that? I give it a solid "C".
