weekly workout schedule and a recipe that ROCKED this week

 

 

 

 

 

This was a great week and I am looking forward to another training week with an all clear from my orthopedic surgeon this Wednesday!

Last Wednesday we tried this quick and easy pasta recipe from one of my favorite site Oh she glows.

Ingredients:  Creamy Tomato Mushroom Pasta

• 2-3 servings of pasta (I used fusili) I used gluten free
• 1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 small sweet onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 8-oz sliced cremini mushrooms (2-3 cups sliced)*
• 1-1.5 cups canned diced tomatoes, to taste
• 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 1/4-1/3 cup nutritional yeast, to taste
• 1.5 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/4 tsp dried thyme
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt, or to taste

 

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in your pasta and cook until Al dente, about 7-10 minutes.

2. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Sauté the garlic and onion in the olive oil for about 5 minutes, or until translucent.

3. Stir in the sliced mushrooms and diced tomato and cook for another 8-10 minutes or so over medium-high heat, until some of the water cooks off.

4. Stir in the fresh basil, nutritional yeast, tomato paste, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes. Add salt to taste. Simmer for another 5 minutes or so and adjust seasonings to taste if desired.

5. Drain pasta and add back into the pot. Stir in the pasta sauce, heat, and serve immediately

It was delicious and was true to the portion size.  There was enough for Chuck and I and a leftover amount for lunch.
