I can honestly say, Monday is here way too early for me this week. I had a good, but short weekend. Our Friday night dinner with the boys was so much fun. We watched Arrested Development (we are rewatching the season again with the boys). I love that they get most of it and quote it. It's so funny when they do that.
The boys ate a variety of sausages and cheeses with socca. I decided to go a completely different, but super easy route...sauteed eggplant with a spicy Arrabbiata sauce from Barilla and nutritional yeast over a bed of lettuce served with chunks of socca. The sauce was so good!
Thick, chunky, hearty with a nice kick to it to balance out the smooth eggplant.
I love using pasta sauces for dressing.
This one was especially good since there was a little heat that was cooled down with the crisp lettuce.
Did I give you enough shots of it? Can you tell I LOVED it? I love making my sauces from scratch, but it really is nice to have some easy fixes for a quick meal. I sauteed the eggplant with a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper. Easy and delicious!
Now, it's time to get on with this crazy Monday!

Rarely do I make my own sauces. When I bake, most everything is from scratch. But cooking? I take shortcuts... as much as possible!
