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