Sunday Sharing


okay, so who doesn't like a good healthy recipe?? I love to get simple, quick, and good tasting recipies all the time so today I'm going to share one of mine with you. For some reason this recipe reminds me of a nice spring day out on the patio table meal. Here's your grocery list:

1) 2 tbls. of olive oil, 2)1 med. red onion, diced 3)4 cloves garlic,minced 4)1 zucchini, halved and thinly sliced 5) 1/2 lb. green beens cut in 1" pieces 6) 3/4 cup reduced sodium chicken broth, defatted 7) 2 tomatoes,chopped 8) 1 cup pinto or red kidney beans, rinsed and drained 9) 1/4 tsp. salt 10) 1/4 tsp ground pepper 11) 12 oz. rotini pasta 12) 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese.


Start heating water in a pot for boiling the pasta. In a skillet heat your oil over medium heat and then add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is tender about 7 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and cook that until the zuccini is soften about 2 min. Then add the green beans and broth and cook until the greenbeans are almost ender about 3 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes, beans, basil, salt, and pepper and cook until the greanbeans are totally tender and the sauce is slightly thickened about 4 more minutes. Cook the rotini in the boiling water until just tender. Drain. Transfer the vegetables to a large bowl, add the pasta and toss. Sprinkle the cheese over it when you serve. It's so delicious!


Sometimes I add some cooked chicken too, YUMMY

Hope this uplifted anyone who is looking for something good to make in the wintertime.


Enjoy
