I'm at that point where the amount of food in the house is dwindling and I'm not going to the store until Monday. So last night was a pantry raid and turned out pretty good. 

What did I assemble:

• Gluten Free Penne
• Vegan Kale Pesto from Trader Joe's
• Italian Chickage Sausage
• Goat Cheese
• Pine Nuts

All these things are consistently in my pantry and refrigerator. So when there's nothing to make, I have some fall-back options. The goat cheese and pine nuts were a last minute addition to mix up the texture. I could of put shaved parmesan on there but wanted to switch it up. I SHOULD OF roasted the pine nuts but my pan was already dirty and I didn't want to dirty up another one. If I thought ahead, I would of roasted the pine nuts first before cooking the sausage.

**Helpful Tip** Always have your pantry stocked with nuts & seeds. They are an easy addition to a salad, pasta or vegetable dish in order to give it more texture.
