Easy Fabulous Pasta- Roasted Tomatoes and Arugula

Been a busy past few days..
Just got home from our friend's John and Kate's wedding yesterday!
Beautiful and sooo fun! We left the bambinos with friends and
enjoyed some ben and natalie time..it was so nice!
will post some of the photos from their big day soon.

I wanted to share something today...
This recipe has been a recent..
 "make up as you go along..
wow this turned out amazing!" recipe! ;)
So I thought I would share it!
Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes & Arugula
1. I had some tomatoes and arugula in my fridge left over from other recipes....
2. I wanted something plain but with flavor!..
3. I had babies at my feet and needed something fast before all craziness broke loose. :)
(the chicken shown was just seasoned with Emeril's and then frizzled up in a little olive oil.)

STEPS:
I put the water on to boil...
Sliced up some tomatoes..placed them on a cooking sheet..drizzled with olive oil salt and pepper and threw in the oven (450 degrees till they look...roasted. ??)
Cook up your pasta..Use your favorite kind.. Drain..Return to pot
I wanted something simple sauce wise..
just olive oil, a little butter, and a splash of cream. salt and pepper.
Then I tossed in some arugula and let it soften in the pasta.
DELISH!


The hubby was happy..
I was happy.. 
the babies ate it sliced up..
and the produce didn't spoil in the fridge..
VICTORY!


When I look down at my feet...
this is usually what I see.

Hope you are all having a great weekend!
I loved the break and alone time with ben..
but we are both happy to be home with our girls! :)

This is a great idea!!! Love that you used stuff so it wouldn't spoil in the fidge...happens every week in my house! I just have one question did you put the pasta in a pan to cook the pasta with the sauce?? Or did you just mix it in a bowl together? I can't wait to make this for my family!
