Last week I made this hearty yet healthy bowtie pasta dish. I'm over wheat pasta and over linguine noodles as well so I'm like lets Jess use some bowtie!
This recipe was so easy and so amazingly healthy you wouldn't believe it! It's great for dinner or even lunch if you can ration out your portions correctly! I'll give you my healthy version and you can Jess add your own twist to it!
Jess What You Need:
1 pound Ground Beef 90% Lean
3 Turkey Italian Sausage Links
Green, Yellow, & Red Peppers
Onions diced
Fresh pressed Garlic or Minc Garlic
3 cups of spinach
1 cup of Mushrooms
Three cheese or veggie Tomato Sauce 64oz Jar (which ever brand you prefer, more recently I've been buying generic & jess jazzing it up w/ seasonings
Half a box Bow tie Pasta
Olive Oil
Sea Salt
Pepper
Italian Seasoning
Basil
Oregano
In a medium sauces pan, with two caps of oil sautée all your veggies(do onion and garlic first, then your peppers, mushroom and spinach).. I Jess choose to cook my veggies in this order because certain veggies cook faster than others. After everything has been cooked, remove from skillet. Now we need to brown our meats, I remove the turkey Italian sausage from the casing-- you don't have to I jess think it helps with consistent food textures plus it is healthier! Anywho, I brown both ground beef and sausage in the same pan because all of the flavors from your veggies will add extra taste in addition to you seasoning your meat with salt, pepper, plus any of your favorite Italian seasonings. After your meat is browned, drain any excessive grease -- if you like to keep a little that's ok too, Jess be mindful of how much you save. Be sure at this point that you've started boiling your bow tie noodles. Cook for about 8minutes. In a medium pot add your favorite tomatoe sauce, because I used a generic brand this time I added ALOT OF my own seasonings. I encourage you to Jess season with Italian, basil, and oregano-- if you have any fresh basil ((yummers)) add that your sauce and a two table spoons of tomato paste. As that begins to cook, add in your veggie, meat, and lastly your bow tie pasta!
The final and most important step! Eat!!
