Ingredients
1/2 lb. of whole grain pasta
Scallops (about 8), optional
2 cups of grape tomatoes, halved
1 zucchini, sliced
4 oz. of diced pancetta
1/4 cup of red onion, chopped
1/4 cup of green pepper, chopped
1/2 cup of shaved parmesan
4 cloves of garlic, minced (optional)
1/2 lemon, juiced
Salt and pepper
Directions
Toss scallops with lemon and salt and pepper (to taste). Cook at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Set aside when finished.
Boil water and cook pasta for approximately 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Heat a large pan on medium heat. Put pancetta in the pan. Let cook for a couple of minutes, then toss in the garlic. Add in red onion, green pepper, and cover with a lid. Once onions start to become translucent, throw in zucchini and tomatoes. Cook until tomatoes start to cook and break down and zucchini becomes translucent. Toss in pasta and scallops and give a toss to mix. Once mixture is heated thoroughly, plate and top with parmesan.
Ingredients
6 links of mild Italian sausage
1/2 pound of pasta
1 green pepper
1.5 cups of spinach
1/2 cup of chopped kale
1 red tomato
3 cloves of garlic
Pinch of salt
Pinch of pepper
1 t. of olive oil
1/2 cup of parmesan cheese
First, start cooking your sausage in a grill pan. While it's cooking, boil your water and get your pasta cooked. Once it's cooked, drain the pasta and add it to a large bowl. I chose pasta "wheels" but bow tie, penne, or any other chunky pasta works. After the sausage is browned and cooked thoroughly, set it off to the side to rest. Keep the pan on the stove for your veggies.
Dice up your green pepper and tomato. Throw on the pan you used to cook your sausage (no olive oil needed). Add minced garlic in with the green pepper and tomato and let cook until browned. While the pepper, tomato, and garlic are cooking, put a little olive oil into a small lidded pot and add in the kale and spinach. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and cover with a lid to let it steam. This only takes a couple of minutes at most.
Cut up your sausage into small bite-sized rounds and add to pasta. Add in all of your veggies and give a good toss. Sprinkle on some parmesan cheese and serve.
