Italian Pasta Dinner for One ---> Recipe

I have a few friends and a few comments, that it would be nice to have some recipes that are for the individual, sooooo... here's one for the individual. ♥



ITALIAN VEGETABLE DIN DIN 

Ingredients:
Peeled, Cubed Eggplant 
Chopped Zucchini
Sliced Mushrooms 
Chopped Onions
Chopped Parsley 
Dash of Red Pepper Sauce
2 Tbsp Homemade Red Sauce*
56g Pasta (Dry) 

{Re: Veggies... you want to have 1/2 cup of Veggies when you are finished, so on average, it will be 1/4 of the Eggplant, Zucchini, and Mushrooms.}

Instructions:
In a non-stick skillet, saute the first 5 ingredients until softened, using the mushrooms for natural moisture, then remove from heat. If necessary, add water as you saute.

Add the 2 Dashes of Red Pepper Sauce to the Homemade Red Sauce and Pour over top of the Pasta of choice.

Place 1 cup of the cooked ingredients over the pasta & Homemade Red Sauce.


*Homemade Red Sauce:

In a sauce pan simmer 1 can tomato paste, 1 jar Pomodoro Tomatoes for 2 hours. Add 1 tsp. Oregano, Basil & Garlic. (You can Freeze the Leftover Sauce)

Since you are going to have a Pasta, DON'T double up and have a bread too, instead, go for a salad with fruit mixed in and you could have a Renee's Yogurt Cesar Dressing. ♥

Enjoy!!
