Creamy Tomato & Spinach Pasta

I wasn't planning on ever putting any recipes up on my blog because I am not much of a cook. Then I realized that if I find a recipe that is easy and makes my husband think I'm somewhat of a chef then it definitely is a great recipe. I figure why not share it with other women so their families can have an even grander view of their beloved wife/mother/friend (depending on who you feed). With that being said the first amazingly easy, inexpensive and delicious recipe that was a success with my hungry soldier is Creamy Tomato & Spinach Pasta. 

I got this recipe from Budget Bytes.
The reason I chose to even try this recipe is because it has simple ingredients. Most things of which I have in my kitchen.

Creamy Tomato & Spinach Pasta

5 minutes prep time
30-40 minutes total time

• Olive Oil
• Onion
• Garlic (I used minced)
• Diced tomatoes (Can)
• Dried oregano 
• Dried basil
• Red Pepper Flakes (optional)
• Black pepper
• Salt
• Tomato Paste (Can)
• Cream Cheese
• Grated Parmesan Cheese
• Penne Pasta
• Fresh Spinach

This smelled delicious and was about the time I felt like a chef. It really was coming together and all I used 2 cans and spices. 

My husband loves cheese so of course he had me add some shredded mozzarella cheese that we happened to have in the fridge. 

 This was our final result. My husband likes to help with dinner in some way so he paired it with easy to make strawberry lemonade.

(If he offers to help I make sure to have him help, because if we turn their help down enough times they might stop offering)

Bonus Tip:

• Country Time Strawberry Lemonade
• Frozen mixed berries/strawberries 
• Sugar rimmed mason jar
