Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Library Theme and Chickpea Pasta Dish

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! For this week's 'Library' theme I did a greeting card (4 1/4" x 5 1/2") in permanent marker.  


 For the dinner ate, I had some leftover cooked chickpea pasta.  I made a garlic butter sauce with parsley and parmesan and mixed in into the pasta.  It was a tasty win!

Garlic butter sauce with parsley and parmesan:

1c chopped fresh parsley

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/2 tsp salt 

1/2c grated parmesan

3-4 cloves garlic minced

1/4c (4 tbs unsalted butter)

Melt butter in a saute pan.  Add garlic.  Then add chopped parsley, salt, red pepper flakes.  Mix in pasta with 1/2c water.
