When I was a young, eager, and well-rested culinary student, I would have never imagined the day would come when I was exhausted by the thought of boiling pasta to go with dinner. Then I went ahead and had three kids, and the rest was history. I rely on pasta with butter and cheese as a side dish far more than I\u2019d like to admit, but sometimes even that feels like too much work on a busy weeknight.\n<\/p>\n
Lately, I\u2019ve been swapping my kids’ noodles for a quick and easy cheesy couscous. It comes together in 10 minutes and requires basically zero hands-on time. I like to use chicken stock for added flavor and nutrition, as well as a pat of butter and grated Parmesan for richness.\n<\/p>\n
Couscous is made from precooked coarsely ground semolina and packs in almost 10 grams of protein per serving. I\u2019ve rebranded this side as \u201cteeny tiny pasta,\u201d which is a big hit with the eight and under crowd. If I\u2019m being honest, it\u2019s a favorite for the 39 and up crowd, too.\n<\/p>\n
It goes with just about everything, but we love it with roasted chicken and a green veggie. Stock up on a bulk bag of couscous (I love this brand) and add it to your weeknight rotation. I love to enjoy the leftovers (if there are any!) for breakfast topped with a fried egg.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n Simply Recipes \/ Mark Beahm<\/p>\n <\/span> <\/p>\n For about six servings (about 3 1\/2 cups), you\u2019ll need:\n<\/p>\n In a medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, bring the stock and salt to a boil.
