a lemony asparagus, pea and parsley pasta
I have spent a lot of time on the Forks over Knives website. http://www.forksoverknives.com/ They have lots of recipes and information that have helped me dive into this.
This recipe is one that I got from there. I tweaked it a bit. It was delicious! I LOVE lemon, so this made my mouth pretty happy. My husband and daughter liked it too. But, they both enjoyed it more with some Bragg Liquid Aminos on it. http://bragg.com/products/la.html The liquid amino is much like soy sauce. I purchased my bottle from our local grocery store in the "health food" section.
Disclaimer: I don't have the measurement. I just cook by sight unless I am baking.
Disclaimer #2: one thing that we are supposed to be doing with this WFPB way of eating is eliminating all oil. We are about 96% there. The one thing I haven't adopted yet, is that I cook with non-stick cooking spray. HERE is a video if you would like to learn how to saute vegetables without oil.
Recipe:
whole wheat spaghetti (I used about 1/2 a box)
bunch of asparagus (cooked ahead of time)
1/2 bag of frozen peas (completely thawed)
lemon juice
parsley
garlic (I prefer the minced up stuff in the jar)
Cook the pasta according to directions on box.
While the pasta is cooking, saute' the peas, asparagus and parsley in a pan with lemon juice and garlic.
Once the pasta is cooked, strain and add all ingredients together and toss making a beautiful spring meal.
We paired it with pairs! (haha)
Every last bite was eaten and we all left the table with full and happy bellies!
YUM
