For the last time....what's on the plate tonight

[Guest guest]

I really hate computers

 

Okay - after trying to type this like 50 times...

 

I wanted to share my yummy dinner with you guys

It's a recipe I have revamped from a cookbook like

forever and a day ago...don't even remember which one!

 

Itallian Pasta Bake

 

2 c. Whole wheat penne

1 can diced tomatos with basil, garlic and oregano

1/2 c. broccoli (cut into smallish pieces)

1/2 small zuccini chopped

1/2 small yellow squash chopped

1/4 c. grated carrot

1/4 c. chopped mushrooms

Bread crumbs to top (usually around 2 T.)

2 c. Soy Cheese - mozzerella flavor (or just cheese if

you eat it)

 

Preheat oven to 350

Cook Pasta according to package directions

Steam broccoli, squash, zuccini, mushrooms 5 min.

When done - mix them together into a med. casserole

dish, stir in carrots, 1 c. cheese and tomatos.

Top with last cup of cheese and then bread crumbs

Cook until bread crumbs are toasty and cheese is

melted (around 20 min.)

 

I usually serve this with garlic toast and a mixed

greens salad with cherry tomatos, cucumbers, some

grated carrot, and balsamic vinnegrette dressing. It's

a family favorite. Even my meat eating dad likes it

(picks out most of the veggies, but he eats it!)
