This is a very interesting pasta combination and one that you may not think of trying. I came up with this dish from leftover vegetables in the fridge that I didn't want to spoil and 2 unused sweet potatoes. Who says you need to throw away unused fridge items?
Ingredients:
1 (13 oz) box of whole grain linguini
2 small sweet potatoes diced
1/2 cup sliced Brussel sprouts
1 zucchini sliced
1 can diced tomato in olive oil
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic
1 package of chicken diced
1/2 cup reduced sodium vegetable broth
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Boil water for your pasta. In a sauté pan heat up your olive oil, garlic, and add the chicken, with potatoes. Let the 2 cook together for about 5 minutes. Then add your sprouts, zucchini, and Italian seasoning. Cover and let cook for another 10 minutes, till potatoes are a tad tender. Then add your vegetable stock, and can tomato, simmering the pot on medium low until all vegetables are soft. Drain pasta, and add to the pan. Toss together, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and serve.
Tips
If you don't want to use pasta, use rice or no grain at all. Just add a few more potatoes. This dish is loaded with nutrients and fiber. A great way to satisfy the stomach. So go ahead impress your family and give this a try.
