Quinoa & Vegetable Pilaf

½ c. Quinoa

2 t. Oil

Method:

Cook quinoa according to instructions(I usually cook ½ c. quinoa in a little more than ¾ c. water for about 15 minutes). You can also toast the quinoa a little before adding water for a fluffier nuttier quinoa. Fluff it up as soon as cooked.


In a pan on medium heat, Oil, Leek, Carrots and Red bell pepper. Add other veggies like celery, mushrooms, greens of choice in quantities depending on the amount of cooked quinoa.


Cook for 3-4 minutes, uncovered, until Leek and Carrots start to get brown on the edges.

Pasta with White Beans & Broccoli

Ingredients:

8 oz dried pasta penne, rotini, or another small shape

8-10 oz broccoli florets

3 T. olive oil

2 cloves garlic minced

1 (15 oz) can cannellini beans drained and rinsed

2 T. lemon juice

1 T. lemon zest

1 t. Italian seasoning

½ t. dried oregano

¼ t. red pepper flakes

kosher salt and black pepper

½ c. shredded Parmesan or Pecorino

optional garnish: lemon wedges, fresh parsley, or chopped fresh tomato 


Method:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add a generous pinch of salt, and cook pasta just to al dente, according to package directions.


While pasta cooks, roughly chop broccoli florets into small pieces, discarding any thick stems. Add broccoli to boiling water 2-3 minutes before the pasta’s cooking time is up.

When both pasta and broccoli are finished, use a liquid measuring cup to scoop out about 1 cup of the cooking water, then drain pasta and broccoli together. Set aside.


Return empty pot to medium heat. Add olive oil and garlic. Cook for 30-60 seconds, just until fragrant, stir in beans, lemon juice, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, oregano, red pepper flakes, ½ teaspoon salt, and 10-12 cranks of fresh-ground black pepper.


Pour in about ¾ cup of the reserved pasta water. Increase heat until the liquid boils, reduce heat to medium and simmer for about 5 minutes.


Return pasta and broccoli to pot. Add Parmesan cheese. Stir well, taste and adjust seasonings. Add a bit more pasta water to further thin out the sauce, if desired, or more lemon, salt, or pepper to taste.


Serve immediately with garnishes of choice.
