This is one of those phenomenally easy, light and filling recipes that knocks you on your ass, and I must give credit where it is due. This was taken from a recipe from Gina DePalma and made just a little bit lighter with the substitution of quinoa pasta for the farfalle…but to be honest this recipe–filled with flavors from shallots, zucchini and Gorgonzola cheese–would likely make cardboard taste good. I believe the assertion that the best Italian pastas have the most sparing of sauces, and this dish is no exception.

Go make fun of my original photo (taken within the first few weeks of living in this apartment) here. Seriously, you can rib me for this–especially since the photo above is genuinely so much better.

I would never mock your photos! Glass houses, you know! Sounds lovely–what did you think of quinoa pasta?
I like it a lot–while much more expensive than the regular type, it didn’t taste all that different from regular pasta.
