A Quick Supper for Those Lazy Hazy Days of Summer...
Summer's a busy time. Need a quick meal for the next long weekend or during the week? I’mtalking insanely quick and economical to make. Got to get your child to apractice or activity? Perhaps there’s a Zoom meeting scheduled just afterdinner. No problem. I’ve got your back with this tasty Roasted Red Pepper Pastameal fit for a family of four. Add sausage or chicken into the mix, and you’vegot yourself a hearty Italian meal that fills you up for the night. This wholemeal takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare, which gives you plenty of wiggleroom to make that meeting or taxi the kids to their activity. Serve with a sidesalad and glass of your favorite wine (if that meeting was cancelled), tocelebrate the end of the day in style.
