Siesta Pasta

this is a light & energetic meal to end a summer's day and begin a warm night! a simple pasta with a light lemon-basil sauce and a few veggies thrown into the mix!



four servings

ingredients:
wholewheat pasta
1 veggie stock cube
2 cloves garlic
1 brown onion
10-15 stalks asparagus
2 large carrots
bountiful handful basil
2 lemons (juice)
very, very generous sprinkle of pepper
2 pinches of salt
3 Tbsp rice wine white vinegar
1 Tbsp red miso paste
few drops hot sauce
1/2 an avocado
whole raw cashews
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes

directions:
1. cook up your pasta
2. saute garlic and onion in a veggie stock cube and 1/3 cup water
3. add in tiny pieces of carrot and asparagus
4. add finely chopped lemon juice, basil, pepper, salt, rice wine white vinegar, miso, hot sauce & let the sauce get flavourful!
5. once pasta is cooked, spoon in avocado (this will act like margarine & make the pasta a little creamier)
6. take carrots & asparagus mix off the boil. now mix in cashews & sun-dried tomato pieces!

make with love
