Protein-Avo Pasta

Ingredients:

 Banza  or POW pasta ( or any pasta if you are not gluten free/ candida)

1 avocado

A handful(or two!) of spinach

1 cup of broccoli 

Seasonings of choice ( I love everything but the bagel seasoning and  chili lime ( from Trader Joes), and pink salt!

Chopped tomatoes (about half a small tomato)

Chopped basil for taste

Instructions:

1. First, bring the water to a boil and cook the pasta. If using a bean based pasta be aware that it can take as little as 5 minutes for the pasta to soften-I learned this the hard way.

2. While the pasta is cooking, mash and avocado (or put into a Nutribullet.) 

3. Next, saute your spinach broccoli to desired level ( I do about 3 minutes). I do this for 5 minutes tops.

4.Chop up some tomato and basil.

5.When the pasta is complete, drain, then pour into bowl. Mix in the avocado and  top with broccoli, spinach, basil and tomato. Season to desired taste level.
