Meatless Monday

A while back my husband and I decided that we were giong to have a vegetarian night each week. I have searched and searched for filling, family friendly, meatless meals and now we are doing it on Mondays to make it easy to remember.

This weeks Meatless Monday was so tasty that I wanted to share it.

Pasta & Vegetable Toss

• 3 cups of fresh chopped vegetables (I used a zucchini, half an onion, 1 yellow bell pepper, broccoli, and cauliflower, the great thing is you can use what every your family likes)
• 2 TBSP Olive oil
• 1/4 tsp or less crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp pepper
• 7 oz whole wheat pasta; cooked
• 1 TBSP Lemon juice, you can add the zest if you like a little more lemon flavor
• 1/2 c parmesan cheese

Saute the vegetables in 1 TBSP of olive oil. Sprinkle in all seasonings & toss until tender. Add the noodles and remaining 1 TBSP of oil. Toss until noodles are coated with seasonings. Add lemon juice, zest, and cheese toss and serve.
