Last night I had an amazing back to back set of two yoga classes. I started with Forrest Yoga, where I eased myself into several poses held for a long time, really pushing my legs and back and getting stronger. Then I hopped up into Hip Hop Yoga, a vinyasa flow class that was hot, sweaty and powerful. I totally got in my zone and felt so amazing when I got home.
So amazing, in fact, that I fell asleep curled up on the couch under a few blankets. I woke only when Karl came home and urged me to head to bed. Oops!
Sadly, I woke up in the morning still tired. Super tired. And I stayed tired throughout the day. And then my shoulder was hurting. I still made it to Forrest Yoga after work today, where I was super duper gentle with my shoulder. It was a perfectly restful practice and exactly what my body was craving.
And when I got home, all I could think of was how much I wanted a big bowl of tasty pasta. So I made this:
Katie's "Sometimes You Just Want Pasta" Pasta
1 leek, sliced and chopped
1 package fresh mushroom, sliced
2 roma tomatoes, chopped
1/3 bag of frozen spinach
1 spoonful of crushed garlic
splash of olive oil
half package of tofu
1/4c. balsamic vinegar (or white vinegar)
salt, pepper, chili powder to taste
3-4 servings of pasta, cooked (I used fusilli)
heat oil in a large pan, add in leeks.
add in the mushrooms, let them sweat and shrink.
toss in the tomatoes, spinach, tofu and garlic. let it cook for about 5 min or until it looks tasty.
Add in your spices to taste and the pasta. Mix together and let cook for a minute or two. Taste and adjust spices. Add vinegar.
Enjoy!
