So I'm like a bread pasta lover!! Seriously can't get enough but we all know that too many carbs especially bad carbs are just that, bad for you. So to add my healthily twist to my favorite dish of pasta I do it simple. Use veggies and multigrain pasta for a carb fix and a conscious one at that.
1/2 box multigrain pasta penne noodles
Put sea salt in pan to lower boiling point as well as add flavor to your noodles.
For the veggies:
1/2 of a green bell pepper
1 leek use the white and some of the leaves.
1/2 of a tomato
2 cups Bella mushrooms
3 gloves of garlic finely sliced
Let veggies simmer. For about 20 mins. Until the mushroom and peppers are tender and the leek is translucent.
Add pasta and veggies to bowl, grate parmesan cheese on top and about 1/4 cup of olive oil mix together and serve.
