Spicy Veggie Pasta

This is one of my go-to pasta recipes. It is packed with lots of healthy fats, fiber, lots of vitamins and nutrients and the perfect amount of heat from the Calabrian chili peppers.

Serves 3

Ingredients:

3 servings of cooked pasta (I used this brown rice pasta here for a gluten free option)
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves of garlic minced
1/3 cup diced yellow onion
1 cup diced tomatoes (I used fresh on the vine tomatoes)
2 tbsp diced Calabrian chili peppers
1 head of broccoli diced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 lemon juiced
3/4 cup frozen peas
salt to taste

Directions:

Heat a pan over medium heat with 2 tbsp olive oil. Then add in the garlic and onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Then add the tomato and sauté for another 5 minutes. Then add the chili peppers and broccoli and sauté for 3-5 minutes. Then add the lemon zest, lemon juice, frozen peas and salt. Sauté for 3-5 minutes. Toss in the cooked pasta and combine well. Serve with your choice of protein (I used hempseed).
