I'm working to get at least 5 servings of veggies in my diet and it starts with buying the veggies and being creative. I made asparagus last night for dinner and had leftovers, so I decided to dig through the veggie draw and mix up a veggie pasta tonight. The key to mixing fresh veggies with steamed veggies from the night before is all about timing. | |
What You Need: | |
-Olive Oil - 2 Tablespoons -Butter - 1 Tablespoon -Vermouth - 2 Tablespoons -Chicken Broth - 1 1/4 Cups -Garlic - 2 Cloves -Green Onions - One -Yellow Squash - One -Zucchini - One -Asparagus - half a bunch -Fettuccine - 10 ounces in the refrigerated section of your local store -Parsley - 1 Tablespoon -Parmesan Cheese - 1 Cup -Breadcrumbs - 2 Tablespoons -Pine Nuts - 2 Tablespoons -Salt - 1/2 teaspoon -Pepper - 1/2 teaspoon | |
Thinly slice up your veggies (left over steamed asparagus), mince garlic and green onion. | |
In a saute pan add olive oil, garlic, onions, half the parsley and let it simmer on medium heat. Once hot add Vermouth and heat for 1 minute. | |
Add Squash and Zucchini, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 1 minute. | |
