My husband, if you haven't gathered from previous posts, is a carnivore. He LOVES steak. It is a very close race to first place with his other love, bacon. Anything that doesn't contain one of those two ingredients takes some nudging to get him to try it.
Tonight we had penne with spinach, roasted red peppers, and navy beans. Does that sound like steak? Bacon? Nope. So, it will take a few more tries before he willingly accepts this one pot dish as "supper." I am more than willing to keep trying this one on him until he gives in though ;)
Super simple, one pot, really quick. It's a winner in my book!
Here's to you and your culinary adventures, friend. Cheers!
