Sauteed Pasta with Garlic

This is such a shamefully easy recipe, but it's good and quick on a busy night, so I thought I'd share it. Pair it with some yummy veggies, like roasted asparagus, and you've got yourself a complete meal.



Sauteed Pasta with Garlic

Ingredients:

2 Tbs. vegan margarine
1 head of garlic, cloves, peeled and sliced in rounds
1 lb. cooked and cooled, or leftover, pasta (small or medium sized works best)
Salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

In a large skillet, heat the margarine over medium heat. When almost melted completely, add the garlic. Cook for about thirty seconds, or until the garlic releases its fragrance. (Garlic burns easily, so don't cook too long by itself.) Add the pasta and seasonings and stir well. Cook for five to ten more minutes, until the pasta is heated through. I like a bit of crispiness to some of the pasta edges, so I wait until that happens before I remove from heat. Easy and tasty. Feeds five hungry vegans.
