I open the cupboard and there sits the whole grain pasta. Check.
I open google and search "pasta edamame recipe." Complete.
Often, I know the ingredients I want to use in a dish, but I struggle with knowing the proper accompanying spices and herbs to make my dish a complete and tasty one. Please see the original recipe here for my inspiration on flavor for this dish!
