Ingredients:
Sauce:
1 cup fresh basil leaves
1/2 clove fresh garlic, chopped
2 tbsp virgin olive oil
Water (enough to cover ingredients in blender)
Salt to taste
Pasta:
1 box of Dreamfields pasta, cooked
Protein:
1 lb. ground turkey, 93% fat free
Vegetables:
4 cups broccoli
2 cups cucumber, sliced
2 cups yellow squash, sliced
1/3 to 1/2 cup red peppers, sliced
2 tbsp fresh garlic, chopped
1 tsp black pepper
2 tsp regular olive oil
1/4 to 1/3 cup water
Salt to taste
To prepare the sauce, puree all ingredients together in the blender.
Prepare the pasta according to the box. Once done, while the pasta is still hot, mix in basil sauce. Use enough sauce to coat the pasta. Save leftover sauce to be used later, or you can freeze it.
Season the ground turkey with black pepper, salt, and garlic to taste. Sautee the ground turkey until cooked thoroughly and set aside. Place regular olive oil in skillet. As the skillet heats up, add broccoli and garlic while stirring. After stirring several times, add cucumber and squash. May need to add water if it seems dry. Cove the skillet for 30 seconds to allow vegetables to cook. Stir in cooked ground turkey, followed by red peppers. Add salt to taste. Serve hot over pasta. Serves 4.
