Moms need a break from cooking once in a while. Like most moms, I rarely seem to get a break, no matter what time of year it is. Even when we go on vacation, it seems the laundry follows us as does the responsibility of feeding our family. That is, unless you’re lucky enough to stay in a hotel with restaurants nearby. My husband loves to stay in a condo or house instead of a hotel because it’s more spacious for our family and feels more like home. The concept is great, except everyone still wants me to cook. I generally have a rule that we must go out to eat at least a few nights a week so I get a break.

This Pasta with Spinach Tomatoes and Parmesan Cheese dish is easy, delicious and healthy, and is the perfect solution for days when you need to feed your family without the fuss.

I used to work with an Italian gal who made some sort of pasta dish almost every night for her family. I only grew up eating spaghetti with tomato sauce, so discovering so many new ways to enjoy pasta was enlightening.

Making a pasta dish in my kitchen is kind of like making fried rice. I scoure my refrigerator and pantry to see what I can throw into the pasta dish. This pasta dish is one of those recipes that I made when dinner was running late and I was too lazy to make a separate vegetable dish.

It’s so easy that even if you’re in the laziest of moods and don’t feel like cooking, I know you can make this ;).
