Orecchiette with Bacon, Black-Eyed Peas and Spinach

I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m doing it! I have these stacks of food magazines from years ago and before I moved this summer I sifted through all of them an make recipe cards with things I’d like to try to make. Now that I have a kitchen and have decided to learn to feed myself things are coming along. I should really be doing half portions of everything because that yields enough for me but the accidental meal prep is also fantastic because I always seem to forget about lunch.

This week I’ve shuffled through the stack of recipe cards and the the one on top is from Food & Wine. I’m a fan of theirs obviously and figured I’d give this a go. I substituted the black eye peas for just regular black beans and I actually wilted my spinach a little. I’m cutting it close with that golden hour light to finish the dish but it worked out.

I’ll top with bacon and cheese each day when I sit down for lunch. Pretty excited about how this one turned out.
