QUICK PASTA DINNER

the end product

I love making this dish when I have few ingredients and I want a good healthy meal.  The measurements are not exact.  PLAY with this recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

2 Tbsp. olive oil and then use as needed
1 tsp dry vegetarian base powder
1 medium red onion
1 head broccoli
1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil
1/2 pkg whole wheat noodles
any spices you want, I used a spice blend that included oregano, basil and tomato
Romano or Parmesan cheese, about 1/4 cup OR Veggie Parmesan
pepper to taste


broken linguine pasta works well


the flavors of this dish:  salt, pepper, a spice blend: oregano, basil and tomato, olive oil,
sun-dried tomatoes and vegetarian soup base

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the olive oil. 

Add the veggie base and a little bit of water.

Saute the onion until just clear.

Add the broccoli cut into flowerettes.  When it starts to get tender, add the sun-dried tomatoes and a bit of their oil.

Meanwhile, cook pasta.  I used linguine - tear into fourths to make small pieces, OR use smaller pasta.

Mix in the pasta, stir all together.

Add cheese and serve.
