Second Post = Food Post

With picture ^^


Welcome to the college gourmet- Vegan, Italian-Style Ramen noodles.

Ingredients:
2 packages ramen, no MSG chicken flavored packets here- toss them aside
1/4 lb asparagus, bottom part removed, sliced into 1" pieces
1/3 bunch of parsley (bunch as sold in stores), chopped
1 clove fresh garlic, diced
1/4 onion, diced
olive oil to desired saucy-ness

Directions:
Pasta: Boil water. When it's boiling, add ramen. Cook for 3 minutes. Drain.

Asparagus: Steam. I did this in a microwave container for this purpose, small amount of water boils below, tray holds asparagus above. It was in the microwave for 2 minutes. Otherwise, boil water with metal strainer bowl on top. Add asparagus for 1-2 minutes, until heated through and nice and green.

The rest of the dish: Heat some olive oil in a skillet, add onion. When onion smells sweet and is tender, add garlic and parsley. When it smells amazing (about 1 minute), add the asparagus and ramen. Toss. Enjoy. :)

Serves 3 servings slightly larger than the one pictured above (I took a couple bites and Brian gave me the idea to photograph our lovely dinner).
