Do you miss the meat yet? Does anyone else gain weight during lent? All the pasta and starch in these recipes tend to pack on the pounds, huh? At least this one sprinkles in some highly nutritious vegetables.
Since some of us lent observers cut out dairy also, so this recipe calls for a substitute. Hope you like it
Its pretty good stuff. Give it a try.
LINGUINE-BROCCOLI
- 1 package linguine
- 1 package frozen chopped broccoli
- 1 can sliced mushrooms (4 oz.)
- 1 cup sliced black olives
1 cup Italian blend cheese (use imitation for Lent) - 1 cup olive oil
- 3 Tbsp. minced garlic
In a medium saucepan heat olive oil on low heat.
Add garlic and broccoli; cover and cook until broccoli is very soft (about 25 minutes), stirring once to separate broccoli.
Cook very low heat.
Cook linguine according to package directions.
Saute mushrooms in 1 teaspoon olive oil. Set aside.
Drain linguine and return to pan.
Dump in broccoli along with olive oil.
Add the mushrooms, black olives, and cheese.
Blend well to spread the oil and garlic throughout the mixture.
I'll post others later. I have quite a few.
