Tonight Bryan made one of our stand-by pasta dishes since it was a long work week and we were hungry. He was able to do so because we tend to keep our pantry full of our favorite ingredients. I thought we should share some of our favorite pantry must-haves in case you’d like to add them to your list next time you are shopping. We’ll create another post with some of our favorite must-haves in our refrigerator and freezer soon.
A sampling of HouseOFoodies staples:
- World Market extra virgin olive oil
- Trader Joe’s mini cheese-filled ravioli
- various pasta shapes, including spaghetti, linguine, elbows, rigatoni, etc. (we tend to buy Barilla)
- Seitenbacher vegetarian vegetable broth and seasoning (Whole Foods or Amazon.com)
- a variety of honey
- peanut oil
- sesame oil
- Rotel tomatoes
- Panko style-bread crumbs
A sampling of HouseOFoodies spices (not representative of all of our spices):
- McCormick Montreal spicy steak seasoning
- “Slap Ya Mama” Cajun seasoning
- red pepper flakes
- Morton’s kosher salt
- ground dry mustard
- ground white pepper
