Veggie Pasta
- 8 oz whole wheat spaghetti noodles dry
- 2.5 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 white onion large, chopped
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- 1/2 bunch asparagus cut into 1-2" pieces
- 1 zucchini thinly sliced, cut in half moons
- 1 cup carrots peeled, sliced thin diagonally (2 large carrots)
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes sliced in half
- 3 Tbsp vegetable broth low sodium
- Salt and pepper to taste
Creamy White Sauce
- 2 Tbsp ghee or butter
- 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
- 3/4 cup vegetable broth low sodium
- 1 cup Silk Unsweet Almondmilk
- 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan more as desired
- 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook according to package instructions. When pasta is done cooking, drain in a colander and rinse with water.
- While the spaghetti is cooking, drizzle some extra virgin olive oil in a very large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; stir occasionally and cook until onion is translucent and garlic is fragrant. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add another small drizzle of olive oil, then add chopped carrots and asparagus, 2 Tbsp vegetable broth, and cook/stir for 4-5 minutes. Then add sliced zucchini + 1 Tbsp of vegetable broth. After you have cooked zucchini for 2-3 minutes, add cherry tomatoes and cook for about 2 more minutes.
- Once all veggies are slightly browned and crisp, transfer to large bowl with the cooked onion and garlic.
- In the same large skillet, add 2 Tbsp ghee or butter, 2 Tbsp of whole wheat flour and stir constantly with a whisk.
- Add 3/4 cup vegetable broth and 1 cup of Almondmilk and stir constantly until sauce begins to boil and thicken.
- Stir in 1/2-3/4 cup of shredded Parmesan cheese and 3/4 tsp Italian seasoning.
- Next, add cooked vegetables back in with the sauce, as well as the drained pasta and stir well until everything is evenly coated with the sauce.
- Serve hot. Top with more Parmesan if desired.
- One serving is roughly 1.5 cups. Recipe yields about 6 servings. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
