Spritz lettuce with balsamic vinegar for salad. Sprinkle cheese on it.
Make sauce with tomato paste and italian seasoning to go on the pasta, sautee some fresh garlic in olive oil before cooking the tomato paste, which water does need to be add to, or it will be too thick. I like a thicker sauce when using rotini
Bake some Italian knot bread and add butter.
Use the apricots for a dessert or later in the evening snack.
Cook the pasta and drain. Chop the romaine, toss with pasta, chopped prosciutto, diced apricots, goat cheese, and chunked artichoke hearts. Make a dressing of oil, salt, pepper, and balsamic vinegar.

Nice one, Elaine, we were thinking alike on this one! I loves me some tomato!
Believe it or not, I would just cook the pasta and mix all the ingredients (maybe not the vinegar) and make a salad.
Thanks, all :)
