LIGHT AIOLI PASTA POWERHOUSE

WHAT

• 2 garlic cloves, pressed or very finely chopped
• salt and pepper to taste (I’m recently gotten into pink Himalayan)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 4-6 oz fettucini or spaghetti (any pasta of your liking will go well here)

VEGGIES

• Broccoli
• Multicolored cherry tomatoes
• Kalamata olives
• Mixed bell peppers

Optional:

• Add a protein such as grilled chicken or salmon
• Parmesan for sprinkling

HOW

1. Roast or steam veggies (or don’t!) I steamed my broccoli and roasted the tomatoes. Chop olives.
2. Cook Fettucini per directions.
3. Mash or chop the garlic finely. Add it to 1 tbsp of EVOO and sautée lightly in a sauce pan .
4. Add cooked fettucini, and additional tbsp of evoo. Add the veggies to it and enjoy!
5. May add a protein such as chicken for “added protein” and a sprinkle of parmesan is also a good idea for added taste.

Enjoy,
