So I started out all ambitious. I nutribulleted some mushroom, minced 4 cloves of garlic, chopped up a shallot, a tablespoon of fresh oregano and thawed a cup of frozen spinach. Into a bowl they go with liberal salt and pepper, too. I follow this up with a cup of ricotta, then mix thorough.
This is where it all goes sideways.
I hook up the kitchen aid, get out my fancy pasta attachment to roll out the sheets and I thought.. DEAR GOD! It’s 6:30 already. What the hell am I doing?
So I stopped, went to the cupboard, and got a box of bowties out. They’re Confluent Boyfriend’s favorite. He says they’re the gentleman of pasta.
Anyway, dinner was .. okay. Not what I had planned, but still tasty. Should’ve just bought the tubes at the store.
Lowered Expectations Pasta
Top with a bit of reserved fresh oregano, red pepper flakes, and a bit of regret about your laziness.

I was totally ambitious and then Netflix literally ate my entire afternoon!
