After a month of Blue Apron, I was feeling a little adventurous and decided to give a go at making a Blue Apron inspired meal. I’ve had such a struggle figuring out what to make on the days that I don’t have Blue Apron!
I really enjoyed the pasta dishes that I’ve made so far with Blue Apron, and with it being in the mid 50’s and completely dreary and rainy today I was feeling in the mood for pasta, but also wanted to get some veggies in too. I took a trip to whole foods and picked up some snap peas, broccoli, scallions, shittake mushrooms, fresh garlic, ricotta and parmesan, a lemon (because every good Blue Apron knockoff needs some lemon zest) and some gemelli pasta.
The result was delicious – creamy garlicky gemelli pasta with crunchy broccoli, snap peas and mushrooms with a yummy lemon ricotta. I topped it with a sprinkle of parm cheese and some scallions.
My version. The only version.
