I'm looking for something healthy enough I can whip up on the worst days.

And sorry if this has been asked before. I'm struggling with the search function, haha.

Pasta with pesto. But it’s healthier and more fancy looking than you’d think …

my grocery sells “fresh” stuffed tortellini and ravioli in “family” sized packages that are good for more than a month
I prefer pesto over marinara, but they each come in a jar and lasts a long time

Brown some meat. I like found Italian sausage meat when my grocery has it. I’ve also pulled the skins off (spicy) Italian sausage, I’ve used ground beef, ground turkey, or chicken breasts cut into bite sized pieces. It doesn’t matter which
Slice a red pepper into chunks
Cook the pasta - remember to save a little pasta water (I always forget)
Dump into a colander
Put the pot back on the stove
Add a few tablespoons of olive oil, a couple shakes of crushed red pepper, and a tablespoon or two of garlic, and cook a minute to draw out the garlic
Dump in the pasta, the meat, the peppers , half a jar of pesto and mix it all in.
Add the pasta water (you remembered to save it, right?) shaved Parmesan and a handful of baby spinach and mix (this should be right before serving so the spinach is not over done)

Now you have simple pasta but it’s colorful, looks fancy, has vegetables.
