I didn't have any grand plans for supper tonight; we were just having leftovers. Ben said he wanted noodles, did I have any noodles... Well, technically yes, but I wasn't planning on cooking. However, I knew that the leftovers I would be serving Ben didn't enjoy the first time around, so...
He kept on with his "I want noodles," and periodically checking on me to see if I was making noodles. I couldn't just give him plain noodles, and he doesn't like butter, so I threw some things together, and made this. He thoroughly enjoyed it (which was great) and I told him I would call this dish Ben's Noodles.
He disagreed with my name for it.
I asked, "What do you think we should call it? What does it look like to you?"
"Drills," he said with his mouth half-full of it.
Okay.
Here he is holding up a drill noodle:

Drill Noodles
(makes one serving)
2 oz. cooked and drained egg noodles
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 small clove garlic
1/2 cup cooked frozen mixed vegetables with lima beans (Ben's favorite.)
2 tbsp. grated parmesan cheese
Saute garlic in oil; add noodles and toss to coat. Add vegetables, toss and heat through. Turn into serving bowl and mix in parmesan cheese. Yum!
I let the pasta hang out in the colander and used the same pan to finish up. (I hate having to use too many pots; then there are too many dishes to do!)
