VEGETABLE PASTA - ONE POT!

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Add garlic and onion - cook slowly for 3 to 4 minutes until onion is translucent and sweet.
• Turn heat up to medium high, add zucchini and capsicum. Cook 1 1/2 minutes.
• Add remaining ingredients EXCEPT pasta and broccoli. Stir until tomato paste dissolves.
• When liquid starts bubbling, lower heat to medium, add pasta and stir. Top with broccoli, push in.
• Place lid on and cook for 5 minutes.
• Remove lid. Cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until pasta is almost cooked through and most of the liquid has been absorbed by the pasta.
• Stir through half the cheese (if using). Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
• Top with remaining cheese, put lid on. Leave for 1 minute until cheese is melted and pasta is perfectly cooked.
• Garnish with parsley and serve immediately. Don't leave leftovers in the pot, residual heat will overcook the pasta so transfer into a serving dish.

FRESH AND EASY VEGGIE SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a wide skillet with sides over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally until translucent; 3 to 5 minutes.
• Add zucchini, yellow squash, garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and a generous pinch of salt then cook, stirring occasionally until softened but still with some crunch; 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook another minute. (When making this sauce, we usually end up using between 1 and 1 1/2 teaspoons of fine sea salt.)
• Add the roasted red peppers, tomatoes, and mushroom powder. Bring to a low simmer and cook until the liquid has thickened and reduced by half; about 10 minutes. As the sauce cooks, use a spoon to break up the whole tomatoes into smaller pieces for a chunky sauce.
• While the sauce simmers, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil then cook pasta according to package directions.
• Take the sauce off of the heat, and then stir in the spinach and basil. Taste then adjust with additional salt if needed. Toss in the cooked pasta, and then leave for a minute so that the pasta absorbs some of the sauce and the spinach wilts. Toss again, and then serve with parmesan or nutritional yeast sprinkled on top.
