Recently I’ve been in the mood for quick, easy, one-bowl dinners. It feels like cheating, especially when I skip the veggies and protein completely, like I did with this dish tonight. But sometimes this sort of comfort food really hits the spot.
I’ll eat vegetables tomorrow. Tonight, I want to drown in creamy pesto sauce.
- 1 T butter
- 2 shoots green garlic, sliced
- 1 T pesto
- 1 T flour
- 1 C milk
- salt and pepper
- ½ C uncooked couscous
- Melt butter. Add garlic, cook until soft.
- Stir in pesto, then flour. Cook for a few minutes. Add milk, salt and pepper to taste, and cook until thickened and boiling.
- Stir in couscous, cover, and remove from heat.
- In 7 minutes, remove lid and “fluff” with fork. Rejoice in creamy goodness.
