I found this great recipe in WebMD magazine. I fixed it tonight.........we like it very much!! I did use Asiago cheese rather than the Parmesan cheese called for. This is very low in calories. Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 medium onion, minced |
2 garlic cloves, minced |
1 red bell pepper, chopped |
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 pinch salt |
2 cups uncooked whole wheat spiral pasta |
1 head cauliflower, broken into florets |
1 head broccoli, broken into florets |
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat.
2. Add the onion, garlic, and red pepper. Saute' 3 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the parsley, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Cook 3 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Cover and set aside.
4. Cook the pasta in boiling water for 5 minutes. Add the cauliflower and broccoli. Cook an additional 3 minutes or until vegetables and pasta are tender. Drain well.
5. Combine the pasta mixture and the red pepper/mustard sauce mixture. Toss well. Sprinkle with the cheese and serve.
