NYT Midnight Pasta

Welcome, new best friend! You’ll be calling us your new best friend after you read our Midnight Pasta New York Times recipe dupe. We made the NYT delish recipe… so much easier!

If there is anything we love, it is someone else handing us a wonderful recipe. Most of the time though, we take out the grunt work, cut some corners, and tailor it to fit our palette, lifestyle, and schedule.  Sure, some people would say we are eradicating the art of cooking, but if we are going to be preparing food at home, there is no way we are going to spend hours doing it.

Most of the time, we are making recipes meat-free, nut-free (due to Shannon’s anaphylactic tree nut allergy), or a little healthier.

We found the New York Times Cooking’s recipe for Midnight Pasta or Aglio e olio pasta, and fell in love!

Why is it called that? Get this! It’s called that because, after a late night of drinking, you can throw it together fairly quickly with a few kitchen staples. That is music to our ears, however, the recipe that the New York Times published, had us roasting our garlic, adding about 40-50 minutes. Um, no thanks.

As much as we adore fresh produce, we also prefer having more time on our hands, not to mention the fact that we did not have any fresh garlic on hand, nor fresh parsley, so we opted for the parsley flaked from our spice cabinet.

Our version took about 20 minutes from start to finish to make. Feel free to click the link above, if you want the full New York Times Cooking Recipe, or if you want the shortcut, keep reading and join us.

About arneradventures

Hi, we are Shannon and Gerry Arner, and our rescue, fur baby, Betty White. After owning our own business, working 24/7, we made a lifestyle change and decided to make the most out of life. We sold our house, downsized, and moved to the coast. We are wanderlusters; we live life minimally, but fully. We live each day as an adventure, and enjoy sharing them with you!

January can be challenging for a lot of people. With the struggles from the holidays, whether expectations were set high, or post-holiday letdown, January leads the year with the highest depressive episodes.
🤎
There are also factors such as holiday bills coming due, less daylight, and cold weather.

Take a moment today to breathe, give yourself a great big hug, and write down 3 things you're grateful for in your life.

Alise, alongside her husband, are travel bloggers. You can find their blog at Tales From an Untamed Soul. Alise and her husband’s story aligns so closely with ours. We were really intrigued by their journey surrounding selling their belongings, being travel bloggers, traveling 365 days a year, and staying in Airbnbs. Their story differs in that they are digital nomads. Alise wants to help individuals create a life they don’t want or need a vacation from. 
🎙️
We chat with Alise about:
☑ The catalyst for making the decision to sell all of their belongings and travel full time.
☑ Alise discusses stored emotions in the body, and how that can make you ill.
☑ How Alise practices checking in with her body and her healing process.
☑ Work-life balance in her lifestyle and boundaries.
☑ Alise discusses living life to the fullest, and how her e-book can help you to do the same.
☑ Alise answers our “Fast Five” questions and the most important question, “What does a life well lived mean to you?” Swipe left to hear a snippet of her answer! 👈🏻
