Cooking for one is a whole new experience for me. The fun part is figuring out delicious things to eat utilizing the items already in the refrigerator from prior meals.
Tonight I had leftover thick Cream of Mushroom/Onion/Potato soup (yes, homemade) to work with. So I boiled up some Buitoni Tortellini and sauced it with the soup, and added in a few shreds of salami to point up the Italian influence.
That pretty, dark green leafy stuff is Lacinato, also called Black Kale. It is mild – more like spinach than kale. It melts down a bit when cooked, but nothing like the disappearing act that spinach does when cooked!
I sprinkled some Smoked Paprika on the tortellini, and some French Thyme on the mushrooms.

Sounds delicious, but the purple color is strange. Is that a trick of the light?

You’re right! The mushrooms DO look a little purple. There are fluorescent lights overhead, so maybe that was what caused it. I’ve eaten them all now, so can’t duplicate the shot with different lighting. ;->

That looks tasty and sounds healthy too. I have a hard time cooking much more than one meal a day, being just one. Wish I had your motivation.
