Eating healthy is EASY when you have recipes like this!
Sometimes, I make my own pesto and sometimes I don’t. That’s just life! So I love keeping ready made pesto in my fridge for when I really don’t feel like making my own.
I also like all kinds of pasta ~ but I am going back to my roots lately and buying Pantenella Spelt pasta ~ whole grain, high fibre and delicious!
You can also use any veggies you want! I have used zucchini ~ but I always make sure there is broccoli! It has added protein 😉
THE RECIPE!
In a bowl add:
1 broccoli crown, chopped (about 4 cups)
2 bell peppers, chopped
1 large red onion
1-2 tbsp avocado oil
Season with salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp oregano
And any seasoning you love!
~ Toss together
~ Place on a sheet pan and roast for 15-20 minutes on 400 degrees
While that’s cooking:
~ Boil one package of your choice of pasta to package directions.
***SAVE one cup of pasta water***
~ Just scoop it out when the pasta is almost done cooking!!!
Then in a bowl add:
~ Cooked pasta
~ roasted veggies
~ 1/2 cup chopped sundried tomatoes
~ 1/4-1/3 cup of sunflower kitchen basil pesto
** slowly add pasta water a 1/4 cup at a time to help coat all that yummy goodness.
~ gently stir the salad together til everything is coated.
ENJOY warm or cold!
You can always add a bit of pesto the next day after being in the fridge ~ if needed.
🩷Healthy Tip: enjoy 1-2 cups of this salad with your favourite protein-dense source for a balanced protein-packed meal!
