With all the prepping of "the bird" and its many
side dishes, it's easy to lose sight of the fact
that you still have to eat every other day of
the big turkey week as well.
So, here is a quick dish that my mom, another
excellent cook, taught me to make that is quick
and delicious and frees you up to work on
"the bird". Thanks, Mom!
Rigatoni with garbanzos and pepperoni
Ingredients:
One box rigatoni
2 cans garbanzos, drained and rinsed

Rigatoni with garbanzos and pepperoni
Ingredients:
One box rigatoni
2 cans garbanzos, drained and rinsed
2 cans diced tomatoes, drained
1 package of pepperoni, diced
(I use turkey pepperoni)
1 package of pepperoni, diced
(I use turkey pepperoni)
Olive oil
1 tablespoon diced garlic
Fresh grated romano/parmesan cheese
Directions:
Heat the oil in a large skillet, simmer the garlic and
pepperoni until heated through. Add the garbanzos and
tomatoes, turn the heat up to medium and cook thoroughly.
Add to a large pot of already cooked rigatoni. Mix well.
Serve in soup bowls with fresh grated romano/parmesan cheese
on top. A small side salad and a hot slice of garlic bread
really completes this meal.
Have a Happy (non-hectic) Thanksgiving!

With all the rush to fix the "big" meal, we do lose sight that other meals have to be prepared too. Thanks for a quick and easy recipe that would be great anytime. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteJenn - I laughed at the "garbanzo bean girl" line because I am just the same. (I loves me my little chickpeas!) Great fast recipe to share on a hectic day for sure.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Jenn!

LOL! "Oh, yeah ... dinner!" That's exactly right. Even though I'm not hosting Thanksgiving, I still have a bunch of cooking to do - the sausage, sauerkraut, and a vegetarian option - that I'll bring to my brother's. You caught the spirit exactly right. Isn't that why they make take-out?
