EIGHT OUNCES OF YOUR FAVORITE COOKED PASTA
IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU DRAIN, TOSS WITH GRATED ASIAGO CHEESE
MIX IN A SEPARATE BOWL: 3 CUPS OF FRESH TOMATOES
STIR IN 1 CAN OF SHITAKE MUSHROOMS
STIR IN ONE JAR OF ARTICHOKES - PACKED IN WATER
MIX OLIVE OIL; RICE VINEGAR (2 PARTS OIL TO 4 PARTS RICE VINEGAR) - AND SEASON WITH MINCED GARLIC; BASIL, THYME, AND OREGANO TO TASTE.
SPRINKLE THE TOMATOES, MUSHROOMS, AND ARTICHOKES WITH JUST A 'SMIDGE' OF COARSE-GROUND PEPPER.
TOSS IMMEDIATELY WITH THE HOT PASTA & ASIAGO CHEESE!
SERVE WITH A NICE SALAD; AND BE SURE TO SET OUT THE GRATED PARMESAN CHEESE - MY HUSBAND WON'T EAT PASTA WITHOUT IT.
I'M NOT SURE IF THE DOGS WILL LIKE ANY OF THIS - THIS MIGHT BE THE NIGHT YOU FEED THEM FROM THAT GREAT SUPPLY OF HIGH-QUALITY DOG-FOOD YOU HAVE!
YOU CAN ALWAYS DANGLE A SLIVER OF YOUR PASTA IN FRONT OF THEM - WATCH THEM PLAY WITH IT; THEY JUST MIGHT LIKE IT.
