Introduction
I really like this cozy meal in the fall and winter to help warm me up. It is hearty, filling and full of flavor (and it's super healthy too). I do not use oil in this dish, so it is not included in the nutritional info. I really like this cozy meal in the fall and winter to help warm me up.

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).
Tips
-This freezes REALLY well, so it can easily be made into 2 meals if you aren't very hungry.
-When you use water to "stir fry" your veggies it is important not to leave the stove. You will sort of have to babysit the veggies to ensure that they don't get too dry. Luckily most veggies cooked pretty fast!
Directions
-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)
