PIRATE PASTA
 
An Award-Winning Recipe from Max Nania - COOKING WITH MAX!
 
Pirate Pasta (Golden carrot coins! Pea pearls! Arggg! It is good, mateys!

Ingredients & Utensils:

1 package of frozen cheese mini-raviolis
1 cup frozen peas
4 big or 2 cups carrots cut into circles or frozen carrot coins steamed or cooked until tender
4 tablespoons of veggie lemon butter (see below)
fresh basil
rosemary
1 large pot

Directions:

Put peas (and carrots, too, if they're frozen) in the pot and have an adult put it on the stove and bring to a boil. Once boiling, have your grown-up helper add the pasta and cook as directed. Drain and dump into a bowl. Once your grown-up helper has done that, you can mix in all the rest of the ingredients and serve.
Mom's Tip:
Try adding parmesan cheese and ruby red tomatoes.
 
Suggested reading:
Jack Sparrow: The Siren Song by Rob Kidd. This is a chapter book that Max loved, or Pirate Pup by Caroline Stutson and Robert Rayevsky (or any good pirate tale!)
