Whole Wheat Pasta with Vegetables and Pumpkin Sauce (for one)
- Number of Servings: 1
Ingredients
-About 1.5 cup canned organic pumpkin (use regular pumpkin, not pie mix!) -1 Serving of whole wheat pasta (I use rotini, but any kind will work)-About .25 cup of onions (or to taste)-.5 Cup of organic black beans (rinsed)-.5 Cup of organic aduki beans (rinsed)-.5 Cup of frozen peas-About 3 tbsp of kelp (or another kind of seaweed if available)-Organic soy sauce-Seasonings to taste (I use cumin, cayenne powder, garlic powder, fresh cracked pepper, hot chili powder, and dry basil).
-Cook the pasta according to package
-While pasta is cooking, heat another pan to medium heat (for veggies).
-Once it is heated, throw the onion in with a small amount of water (enough to cover the bottom of the pan lightly, but not so much that it is soupy). Add a little water as necessary so that nothing sticks to the bottom of the pan but veggies remain moist.
-Add seasonings to taste.
-Once the onion is cooked, add the beans and peas. Continue adding a little water until cooked.
-Add more seasonings to taste (if necessary).
-In the last minute or so of cooking add the pumpkin, kelp, and soy sauce until heated through.
-Combine veggies and cooked pasta and enjoy!
Serving Size: Makes 1 large portion or 2 smaller ones (nutritional info is for 1 serving)
