Very Veggie Pasta

Don’t you love spending a night at home by yourself?

My plans for dinner  fell through this evening so I made an incredible pasta dish that I dreamed up at the last minute.

I know- it looks like A LOT of food but I promise it was mostly veggies!!

What I used:

• 1 serving of thin whole wheat spaghetti  measured with this amazing spoon:

This spoon has different holes in it for measuring serving sizes of spaghetti! The one at the top is 2 servings.

• Chopped Zucchini
• Chopped Grape Tomatoes
• Chopped Green & Red Peppers
• 1 Garlic Clove
• Chopped onion (about 2 tsps)
• 1 Tbsp EVOO
• 1/2 Tbsp Balsamic Vinegar
• Tbsp Feta Cheese
• Tsp Parmesan Cheese
• Black pepper, basil, oregano, crushed red pepper,  to taste

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to box directions
2. In a medium skillet, heat EVOO, add garlic and onion, saute until browned
3. Add Zucchini, Tomatoes and Pepper
4. Season with pepper, basil, and oregano, let saute for a couple minutes
5. Add Balsamic Vinegar, Feta Cheese, and Parmesan Cheese, stir together
6. Let sit for 1 or 2 minutes, stirring occasionally
7. Remove from heat, add pasta to pan and mix

I loved making this dish for myself because Jeff doesn’t really like all the veggies I used! On the side, I had the last slice of my Veggie Pizza. Plus I drizzled EVOO and Garlic Powder over 1/2 a  piece of Farmer’s Market  Italian Bread, wrapped it in foil and put it in the oven for 5 minutes on 400°.

What an amazing dinner! I think I got all the veggies I need for the day in one meal!

Dessert was a repeat of last night with some cherries added in

Small piece of Bluenana Bread topped with Saratoga PB Company’s Blizzard Butter and a block and a half of Lindt Dark Chocolate. I need to get rid of the Bluenana Bread before it goes bad. I could freeze it but it tastes so good fresh. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of it in the next couple days.

What is your favorite dinner to make when you’re only cooking for yourself?

Have a great night!! <3
