March is National Noodle Month, which either means that we are all supposed to cook and consume pasta, or sit around and think deep thoughts. I went with the "cook and consume" route because that is the path that rocks.
I didn't have the energy to fill up ravioli, let alone think of a brilliant filling, so I went with the easier fettuccine-noodle variety. I figured if I wasn't going to make stuffed pasta, the least I could do was flavor the noodles. I decided on a festive tri-color using spinach, roasted red pepper, and garlic.
While the noodles were delicious to just cook and eat on their own, eating utensils optional, I made some more pesto since I had been daydreaming about making more ever since the Chicken Wing Food Fight, and also really wanted some artichoke hearts for some reason, so they went into the bowl too along with some chicken, sun dried tomatoes and olives.
As far as pasta dishes goes, this one was the best yet. Not saying that my previous dishes were not equally as awesome, it is just that in this dish's current state of existence, I can eat it and enjoy it, whereas my previous pasta dishes have long since been made extinct by my fork. And you can't grate Parmesan cheese on memories.
