Quick Recipe: Super Veggie Lasagna Toss

sweet%20peppers.jpgI have a confession to make, ladies: I think I'm becoming a recipe nerd. 

Seriously!  I hit the library yesterday and was on the prowl for as many back issues of Good Housekeeping and Ladies Home Journal as they'd let me have, just so I could start gathering recipes for home and to share with y'all!

I spotted one today in the June '07 issue of Good Housekeeping that sounded interesting, but I had to adapt it by adding even more veggies.  Hence the "SUPER" veggie lasagna toss.  My additions are in italics; let me know what you'd add or substitute to pack in even more goodies.

What You Need:

  • 8 oz lasagna noodles
  • 1 T EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed with press
  • 1 - 12 oz bag broccoli florets
  • 1 - 12 oz bag cauliflower florets
  • 1 C low-sodium chicken broth (Trader Joe's offers a great organic version)
  • 1 - 15 oz can cannellini (white kidney beans), drained and rinsed
  • 3 large tomatoes, coarsely chopped
  • 2 medium bell peppers, of different colors (I'd go yellow and orange just for variety on the plate and in nutrients), seeded and chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, washed and grated
  • 1/3 C freshly grated Romano cheese, plus additional for serving if desired

What To Do:

  • Cook noodles in 5 - 6 quarts of boiling, salted water until just tender (about 2 minutes past time on package).
  • While pasta cooks, heat EVOO over medium heat in large skillet.
  • Add garlic, broccoli, and cauliflower and cook 1 minute, stirring frequently.
  • Add broth; cover and cook 8 minutes.
  • Stir in beans; cover and cook 2 - 3 minutes or until broccoli and cauliflower are very tender.
  • Stir in tomatoes, peppers, and grated carrot; remove from heat.
  • Drain lasagna noodles and add to skillet mixture.  Sprinkle with Romano.
  • Toss to coat noodles.  Serve topped with additional Romano if desired.

This is a great way to use goodies from your own garden.  Use organic produce and whole-grain pasta and you've super-sized your health benefits.
