I'm always trying variations of recipes that I like. My ONE PAN PASTA PRIMIVERA is a great example. Different seasons bring different veggies into our kitchen. This time I took a massive leek (😅) and used every bit except the roots. Keep your eyes open at the grocery. Try things!
1 cup of whole wheat elbows, 1 leek, 1 red bell pepper, I portabella mushroom cap minus the ribs, 2 TBSP's each of PB FIT peanut butter powder and Nutritional Yeast (Nooch) and 1.5 cups of marinara sauce.
I boil the pasta in water seasoned with onion powder and garlic salt. Save 1.5 cups of the seasoned starchy water. In a non stick pan sauté the veggies adding the starchy water as needed. Boil off much of the water, stir in the pasta, marinara, Nooch and the peanut powder. Cook over medium low heat until it thickens. Serve hot.
