Go to the Files section and then start looking under Main Dishes and

Main Dishes II. You'll find some simple recipes there.

Here's a simple recipe with fresh veggie you can get from a farmers'

market.

 

Add 1-2 tbsp olive oil to a saute pan. Add chopped onion and garlic

and saute until the onion is transluscent. Add sliced zucchini or

yellow summer squash and cook until the squash is soft. Then open your

favorite jar of pasta sauce and pour right on top. Stir to incorporate

and let simmer. (you can also add " grounds " if you'd like)

 

Meanwhile, bring a pot of water to a full boil and then add your

favorite pasta (spaghetti, rigatoni, egg noodles). Each pasta takes

it's own time to cook so after a couple of minutes (5-8), taste one

for the right texture. When cooked, drain, put some pasta in a bowl

and top with your veggie sauce. Then smother in parmesan cheese.

 

This recipe will probably take about 20 minutes total.

 

For more protein, you can add a cut up veggie burger or do you buy

those " grounds " ? My favorite brand is the Smart Grounds.

 

Enjoy!
