Weeknight meals can be tough: you may not have time to go shopping on your way home, or you may have a million things to do in the evening. That doesn't mean you have to sacrifice taste or nutrition. Not to say that this recipe is chock full of nutrients, but it offers a little more than most quick meals. A little added bonus: it also uses ingredients that you'll probably have on hand.

A wine tip: use the same name in the sauce as you are serving with dinner. It ensures the meal will be well balanced with the wine and there will be no conflicting flavours. A great option is Concejo Bodegas - 2007 Carreduenas; it's very well balanced, oak aged for 6 months, and goes great with spicy dishes.
