This is so easy. It's almost ridiculous how simple this soup is. And yet, for so little effort, you get an amazing dish.
Another recipe from Quick-Fix Vegetarian, this Chickpea & Tomato Soup with Ditalini had us saying, repeatedly, 'this is so good!'.
Onions & garlic cooked in oil till soft, tomatoes, oregano, red pepper flakes and bay leaves are stirred in. Next, (tinned) chickpeas and vegetable broth, salt & pepper; the whole thing is simmered for a bit. Add in ditalini (or other small pasta) and cook till tender.
With a small, simple salad and some crusty garlic bread, this was a satisfying meal. For less than 30 minutes of effort, it's darn good.

- Easy Is Good
I'd had Mark Bittman's Quick & Easy Recipes from The New York Times on my Amazon wish list for some time, and finally bought it a couple of weeks ago (it nicely padded out an order to get free shipping...yay Amazon!). During the summer, I got...
- Spaghetti With Chorizo & Almonds
Still mining my magazines, this fantastic dish came from a recent Gourmet. This recipe treats the spaghetti like rice, and it's amazing. I made two versions. One pot for Matt, the other for me. No way I was missing out on this. Thinly sliced garlic...

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? Wednesday night, we had a simple, flavorful, and so quickly prepared Garlicky Tortellini, Spinach and Tomato Soup; a recipe from Fine Cooking, and found on the Sur La Table web site. A brilliantly...
