Vegeterian Tips: Reduce your refined sugar intake. I ve got as much of a sweet tooth as anybody, but I try to keep it under control by using such sugar replacers as maple syrup, stevia and agave whenever possible such as in coffee and tea and indulging in the refined stuff only occasionally.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 lb (450 grams) medium sized pasta (bow ties, penne, fusilli, etc)
- 1 med. size can of sweet green peas
- 1 small onion a bunch of green onions
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1-2 tablespoon dried bazil (or fresh)
- salt/pepper to taste
- Lots of salted water to boil pasta
Directions:
While water is heating to the boiling point, clean and chop onions.
In a small saucepan, over medium heat, gently saute chopped onions
in the olive oil. When the onions are soft and transparent, add the can of peas, with
the juices, and the crushed or chopped basil, and salt/pepper to taste. Reduce heat to
low once the mixture is hot and wait for the pasta to be cooked.
I like my pasta al dente, so it does not take long to cook. Once it
is ready, I drain it and then mix it with the peas/onion mixture.
I serve it with grated, dairy free Romano cheese, or Parmesan. It is very tasty
and very quick and easy…also very low fat content.
(HINT…the first time you make this, you may want to reserve some of
the cooking water, about a cup, just in case you find the pasta “”dry””
compared to what you are used to. If so, add maybe 1/2 cup of the
cooking water to moisten it. For us, it”s fine as written, but we
are used to it.)
