This week our Self-Reliant Meeting is all about pasta, rice and potatoes. Here is a great article on pasta for you.
What can you do with 1 lb. of pasta?
Do you get tired of the same old turkey sandwich for lunch everyday? Well why not shake things up a little and consider adding a little variety with some different pastas? Start Sunday by cooking up a pound of pasta - any short variety will do - penne, fusilli, farfalle. Just rinse with cold water after cooking, toss with a touch of olive oil, and refrigerate for later. When ready to use, mix up 1 1/2 cups of cooked pasta with one of the following variations and season with salt and pepper, if desired...
Monday: Mediterranean Pasta
1/2 cup chickpeas
1/2 cup arugula
1/4 cup crumbled Feta
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
Tuesday: Artichoke, Almond & Parmesan Pasta
6 artichoke hearts (from a jar), chopped
2 TBSP chopped roasted almonds
2 TBSP grated Parmesan
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
Wednesday: Tuna, Red Onion, and Olive Pasta
1 (3 oz) can tuna, drained
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives
2 TBSP chopped red onion
2 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
2 tsp red wine vinegar
Thursday: Asian Pasta Salad

Your Tuesday recipe calls for "6 jars artichoke hearts" is that a mistake?
Thanks for the comment. I'll double check that and let you know. 6 sounds like a lot, It's probably a mistype from me.
those sound yummy!
It's 6 artichoke hearts FROM a jar, not 6 jars of artichoke hearts. Sorry!! I corrected it in the post as well.
