Day 12 - Sweet Beans & Pasta

Another day, another recipe! On the menu today: Sweet Beans & Pasta, taken from 365 Vegetarian Meals. This one is a quick and easy recipe, but lacks a bit of taste, in Gary's friends' opinions. But nevertheless, it's a very filling meal and still satisfies one's belly (even Giraffe bellies).

Here he is, preparing his ingredients on the counter top before beginning the meal.

"Mmm! I never knew how much I loved carrots; they're usually too low for me to reach!"

The steps were pretty easy to follow: cook pasta, add beans and carrots, drain, add Alfredo sauce, and top with rosemary. Wham, bam, thank ya ma'am! 

And there you have it!
