Heart Healthy Roasted Vegetable Pasta

This heart healthy roasted veggie pasta can be made in under 30 minutes.

Lets be honest, whats more comforting after a long work week than a big bowl of delicious pasta.

This recipe uses chickpea pasta which is full of protein and fiber.

Just one serving has 13 grams of fiber & 25 grams of protein!

 After working an 8 hour shift sometimes I don’t always feel like cooking, which is why this Roasted Vegetable Pasta dish is perfect.

 It’s light enough where you do not feel slumped eating late & put together in under 30 minutes.

Here’s how its done…

You will need:

Handful broccoli florets

3 cloves garlic sliced

Onion sliced

Handful cherry tomatoes, halved

pink himalayan salt & pepper to taste

Chickpea pasta (I use EatBanza)

1 tbsp olive oil

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp dried oregano

Fresh parsley to taste

Optional: Cashew Parmesan for some cheesiness

To make:

1.  I preheat the oven to 350.

2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and toss on top some broccoli florets + sliced garlic + sliced onion + halved cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle on some black pepper and pink salt. Roast 15 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, boil water over the stove. When the water has boiled add the chickpea pasta & that simmers for 7 minutes, or according to directions on the box. When pasta is done reserve 1 tbsp pasta water, strain pasta.

4. Toss pasta in olive oil,  lemon juice, dried oregano, & fresh parsley. By this time veggies are done & toss them in with the pasta.

5. Sprinkle with some cashew Parmesan for cheesiness

(Cashew Parmesan can be made by blending cashews in a high speed blender, yes thats it!)
