Pasta and Okra
2 medium onions, chopped
4 cloves of garlic, minced
1 lb. okra, cut in 1/2" pieces, tops and tails removed
1 can of tomatoes
1/2 large jar of spaghetti sauce
3 c dried cheese-filled tortellini

Cook pasta according to package directions.

Cook onions in a small bit of oil until almost caramelized. Add garlic and cook both until browned. Add okra. Just before the okra gets slimey (about 2 minutes), add tomatoes and sauce. Reduce heat and simmer until okra is soft.

Mix vegetable mixture with pasta. Serve with grated mozzarella.

If only I liked okra...

I'm saving this receipt to give to the teenager when she heads off for college, lest she try and foist it on her parents at home. She loves both pasta and okra, so it's perfect for her. :) Thanks!

You're welcome! You could also use any sort of summer squash (like zucchini).

Yummy, as with everything you make.

I'm glad we saved room for the ice cream, though.
