Quinoa Pasta & Asparagus


Quick, easy, low-fat dinner! I can't live without my pasta, but there are ways to make it healthier. Since I'm vegetarian, most recipes I post will be meatless!

This recipe only serves one, but feel free to add to it for more servings...even add white meat chicken for extra protein!

Here's what you'll need!


Ingredients:
  • 2 oz. Quinoa pasta (dry, spirals)
  • 1 oz. Quinoa pasta (dry, spaghetti - just for variety - optional; otherwise just use 3 oz. spirals)
  • 6 spears fresh asparagus
  • 1 Tbsp. light margarine or butter
  • Lemon Pepper
  • Garlic

Directions: Bring water to boil in a 2 qt. saucepan. Add pasta, stir, and cook according to package directions. While pasta cooks, cut the asparagus into small sections; cutting at an angle. During the last 5 minutes of pasta cook time, toss in the asparagus.

Once pasta is done, drain water. Put pasta into your serving dish, add the butter/margarine, lemon pepper to taste (approx. 1 tsp.) and garlic to taste (approx. 1/2 tsp.) Toss all ingredient and serve immediately

Enjoy! If you decide to try it, please leave me feedback!
