I bought a new cookbook today.  It's one of Barnes and Noble's bargain books, and it's called Minute Meals Vegetarian: Inventive, Satisfying Everyday Meals in 20 Minutes. 

It sounds interesting - only 20 minutes, and it's more than just opening cans and boxes.   It's got 80 menus, so hopefully I'll be able to find a few to try that are easy, quick and tasty.

if you find some winners please post them

I tried a parmesan artichoke heart pasta dish the other night that was delicious - even DD loved it!  If anyone wants the recipe let me know.

Serves 4-8.

Cook 1 pound pasta, reserve 1/2 cup of the water, drain rest of water.

Sauce:
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 can (14 oz.) artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed and quartered
1/4 c. chopped flat leaf parsley
3 T. olive oil
3 T. butter
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Red pepper flakes to taste
Salt and pepper to taste

In pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until butter is melted.  Stir in garlic then the artichoke hearts and parsley.  Cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes.  Remove the pan from heat.  Add the cooked pasta, Parmesan, dried red pepper flakes, salt and pepper.  Toss, adding enough of the reserved pasta cooking water to make a creamy, not sticky, sauce.

Serve and enjoy
(I left out the red pepper flakes.)
