Veggies And Pasta Recipes

A hearty vegetarian alternative

Add either cooked chicken or cooked salmon to the recipe to make it a meal and it's wonderful!! I add lemon pepper to taste... and I love to add pickled artichokes when I have them!

A homemade baked pasta dish that is lactose free, relatively low in sodium, and also full of veggies and protein.

I have a ton of tomatoes and veggies to use up from the garden, so I thought I'd make a mish mash of veggies and pasta, with a few shrimp thrown in.

have been playing around with these ingredients and this was the final recipe

Super healthy way of making chicken and veggies over pasta

A little higher in calories due to the extra servings of sausage, but by using chicken sausage you save 250 calories over pork Italian sausage but it tastes just as good, maybe even bettter!

Nice summer salad

GF version of a quick and delicious standby. Use whatever veggies you have on hand. Chickpea pasta adds a boost of protein. I also used fresh Thai basil.

Super colorful delicious and easy to make!

I chose Healthy Harvest rotini with Flax, added my favorite veggies and cooked some salmon to mix in - made a very tasty lunch. I also used full sour cream as I like the flavor better than fat free which would greatly reduce the fat content of the recipe.
Add your own choice of chicken, salmon or finely sliced beef to the meal or eat as it is-any way it makes a great side dish or a meal.

This was a fun experiment - we love pasta with alfredo, but wanted to get some veggies in there. It was yummy!

I can't stand mayo or any version of it, so I decided to make a pasta salad that was healthy and tasty too.

2+ servings of veggies, high fiber, high protein

Turned out way better than I thought!! If I could rate it, I'd give it 4stars. Pretty easy to cook, lots of chopping.

"This recipe is very low calorie if you go easy on the pasta, rice and butter. It is also very versatile. You can omit any vegetable you dislike and add any you do like. Just consider the cooking time needed for any added vegetable. Also if the vegetables are too crunchy for your taste just steam them a little longer.
Be sure to add some protein to this meal. I like a little baked tempeh with mine. But some beans would be fine."

I made this as a tasty, nourishing, good-for-you 'get better' meal for my mom, as I am helping her to recover from her surgery. Served over whole wheat pasta, it's GREAT! :) [Created 2007-07-29.]

Another great pasta sauce... Similar to the others I've made, but a little different. Protein, vitamins, and fiber abound! [Created 2007-11-09.]
