Dose of Prose
Cooking is one of my simple pleasures. I love learning new recipes, watching the Food Network (Chopped, Iron Chef and Cupcake Wars just to name a few) and the art of being able to replicate a healthier, cheaper version of a dish you would otherwise order at a restaurant, is a challenge I welcome with open arms. If you’ve read my grocery guide, you know that I have a very specific way of grocery shopping and meal prepping, due to my busy schedule and numerous food intolerances. Also, with all the periodic food recalls that happen and my own individual germaphobic ways, it’s just nice to know exactly what I’m putting into my body because I made the food myself. In today’s post, I want to give you that peace of mind. Over time I have mastered a few recipes that have become my go-to dinner meals each week, and I would be remiss if I didn’t share them with you.
Do you like pasta, but don’t like the bloat feeling you get after eating it? Are you a person who hates veggies, and are searching for a way to sneak them into your diet? Does the thought of cooking sound like a chore to you, and you want meal options that are quick, easy and beginner-friendly?
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, this blog post is for you! Here’s 2 versions of pasta recipes that are quick, easy, protein-packed and most importantly, tasty. I’ve provided instructions in video format as well as infographics for you to screenshot/download for yourself when you decide to make the recipe. If you end up giving this one a try, be sure to take a photo and tag me with the hashtag #ProsePasta. I can’t wait to see you recreate this and I hope you love it! Enjoy.
Prose Pasta – 2 Ways
The following recipe details 2 versions of my pasta recipe. You can make a seafood medley with a homemade olive oil sauce or a beef bolognese version with a red sauce. Whichever option you choose, all of the pasta itself is plant-based (i.e. made from lentils or vegetables). In the video, I also describe a spaghetti squash option as well.
I hope this recipe was helpful. It doesn’t take long to make and it is also family approved (trust me) haha. If you like posts like this, share it with your friends and leave a comment letting me know how it all turned out!
