We have started doing a weekly dinner switch with Jeremy and Kedra (we cook one week and they cook the next.) Last Friday we had delicious sweet potato burritos, and yesterday we made Pasta Fresca. I don't consider myself a top-notch chef, and so I don't usually share recipes, but this one was so good. Steven and I love to eat at Noodle & Company, and this recipe is taken from one of their dishes. It tastes really close too... so if you are looking for a crowd-pleaser, give it a try!

2 shakes of kosher salt & cracked pepper
Sear noodles, stirring occasionally until steaming hot
Add:

Toss to combine, serve with freshly shaved parmesan cheese
FRESCA SAUCE:
(for 15 servings)
1/4 cup fresh garlic

On another note, we have really been enjoying Fall again in Provo. We were able to go hiking last weekend and see all of the pretty leaves. Steven also took an impressive picture of the sunrise on his way to work yesterday morning. We have a great view of the mountains from outside of our apartment.
