Roasted Broccoli Pesto Pasta

• 2 cups broccoli, chopped into florets
• 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
• 1 small bell pepper, sliced
• 1 box pasta of your choosing, gluten free or non
• Olive oil
• Salt to taste
• Black Pepper to taste
• 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
• (Optional) 1/4 cup heavy cream or non-dairy milk
• 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• Parmesan (for garnish)

Pesto

• 2 cups fresh basil, stems removed
• 1/2 cup pine nuts or sliced almonds
• 2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 Tbs lemon juice
• 1/4 cup parmesan (vegan or dairy)

Directions

1. Make the pesto by mixing all of the ingredients in a food processor. Blend until smooth.

3. Cook the pasta according to its packaging.
4. Sauté the chopped onion and pepper in olive oil on a large skillet on medium heat. Cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a dash of salt and black pepper and Italian seasoning.
5. Once the broccoli is roasted and the veggies are sautéed, add about 1/3 of your pesto to the pan. You may choose to make the pesto more sauce-y by adding the cream or non-dairy milk. Reduce heat to low. Add in the cooked pasta, stir until all of the ingredients are incorporated.
6. Garnish with extra parmesan and red pepper flakes. Serve and enjoy!

Mushroom & Tempeh Goulash with carrots, onion, white beans, and thyme. This hearty dish is rich in protein and easy to make. Not like your traditional Hungarian goulash, but this dish can be enjoyed as a soup or a stew.

Serves: 4 Time: 45-50 minutes

Mushroom & Tempeh Goulash

• 8 oz. cremini or button mushrooms, chopped
• 1 small onion, finely diced

• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• Pinch of salt

Directions

1. Prepare your vegetables and measure out your ingredients.
2. In a medium-large pot, set the heat to medium. Once hot, lightly coat with olive oil and sauté the onions for 5 minutes, until lightly translucent. Then add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the carrots, mushrooms, and tempeh, cooking together for another 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the tomato paste, thyme, paprikas, black pepper, a pinch of salt, and vegetable broth. If you want this dish to be more like a soup, add 4 cups of broth; for a stew, add 2 cups. Bring to a boil.
