Pasta!

I love pasta! Here's an easy mix and match recipe. Add, remove, substitute what you like. For low carb use shirataki noodles, or no pasta - just veggies. For higher carb, don't add the shirataki noodles, and instead boil some pasta to mix in at the end.

Put a large wok or frying pan on medium heat.
Add:
1 tbsp of coconut oil;
1 chopped red onion;
a few chopped garlic cloves;
Saute for a few minutes, until the onions are a little translucent.

Then add:
Approx 1 cup of chopped mushrooms;

Saute for a few more minutes;

Then add, in this order:
1 cup of chopped broccoli;
1 cup of halved cherry or grape tomatoes;
2 chopped bell peppers;
2 bags of shirataki noodes - drained, rinsed, and chopped;
1 bunch of chopped asparagus;
1 package of organic smoked tofu, chopped;
1 bunch of kale, ripped into pieces, stems removed;
A few tablespoons of chopped sundried tomatoes (either soaked in oil, or, if using dried sundried tomatoes, soak in a small amount of boiling water for a few minutes before chopping);
Saute, until the asparagus is al dente;

Add:
A few handfuls of spinach;
Stir until the spinach is starting to wilt, then remove from heat;

Top with fresh basil and vegan cheese or nutritional yeast.
