I wish I had taken a picture of this amazing dish, but it was sooo good that it went super fast! My boyfriend has been in town for a few days now. Our routine for meals consists of a lot of eating out and me cooking a few times during his visit. We had my parents over for spaghetti with "meatballs" one night and had a lot of left over pasta. As we were coming home from church last night, I decided to have a "whatever you can find in the pantry for dinner" kind of night.
So here's what I used...
The leftover linguine from spaghetti with my parents (whole wheat linguine)
1/2 zucchini, sliced and cut in half
About 4 fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 tablespoon of vegan butter, Earth Balance
A little olive oil
Garlic powder
Pepper
Salt
Parsley
Dash of lemon juice
Lemon pepper
1 spoonful of garlic chili sauce
MorningStar Meal Startes Chik'n strips
Frozen Brussels sprouts
Frozen cauliflower
Here's what I did...
1.) Reheat pasta in a sauce pan, add butter, olive oil, parsley, pepper, garlic powder, pepper and stir.
2.) In a small skillet, sautee mushrooms and zucchini in a little olive oil.
3.) Add sauteed mushrooms and zucchini to pasta and stir.
4.) In the same small skillet, add a few chik'n strips according to directions. Then add to the pasta.
5.) Add 1 spoonfull of the garlic chili sauce and stir.
6.) Add lemon juice, salt and stir.
7.) Meanwhile, heat frozen veggies in microwave according to package directions. Add lemon juice and lemon pepper then toss.
Again, I really wish I had taken a picture of this dish because it turned out really great! My boyfriend, "the meat-a-tarian" said he was really impressed with the chik'n strips. He also said that he would request this dish in the future. I knew then that I had to write it down!
Enjoy!
