What's for Dinner, Thurs., Oct., 19, 2023

Made a fresh arugula salad with tomatoes, parmesan shavings, and toasted pignolis. It is going to be great! Nothing like FRESH!

Broccoli from my garden with garlic, red pepper flakes, and olive oil.

Chicken satay with peanut sauce.

Dark Chinese tea and a chocolate covered biscotti for dessert.

I made one pot of spaghetti with a no-added-sugar Ragu jarred sauce, with three TBLSP of tomato paste, three cups of chicken broth/stock, and fat-free chicken Italian sausage (store-made by Giant Eagle). I added extra spices of course (Lawry's coarse ground garlic, oregano, basil, thyme) to taste. The sauce was already flavored. I used Barilla gluten-free spaghetti. brought everything to a boil and added the spaghetti (12 Oz). It was delicious and made quite a bit. It took just under 20 minutes for the liquid to be absorbed, and the pasta to become al dente. Now I usually don't like red sauce but this was really good. I served it with salad and fruit... crusty bread would be good but I am on WW so...didn't need more carbs. For anyone counting points, it made 8 servings and was 5 points.
