The name of this dish doesn't do much to make you want it. For starters, I didn't know what quinoa was. Turns out it is a grain-like crop grown for its seeds and it's a great source of fiber, protein, and lots of vitamins. The pasta cooked up just like normal pasta and had a good taste by itself. This recipe is very fast and easy. Start off cooking the pasta and blister the grape tomatoes. Add some garlic to the tomatoes, then mix them into the cooked pasta with spinach and some Parmesan cheese. The seasoning is just some fresh marjoram and crushed red pepper. Potato and Kale Cakes with Rouille
Getting your veggies with a dose of potato is great. These little cakes are made by mashing potatoes, cooking onions and garlic with kale and thyme, and mixing together with nutmeg. The cakes are fried in olive oil for about 3 minutes per side. Mine didn't exactly crisp up, but they browned nicely. The rouille is a nice accompaniment, made with mayo, olive oil, garlic, tomato paste, paprika, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
