Veggie Pasta

*Serves 2

Ingredients:

• 5 oz. cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1/8 cup red onion, diced
• 1 small bell pepper, diced (any color will do, yellow is my favorite)
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ cup salt-free or low sodium pasta sauce (I’m working on a homemade recipe)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Whole wheat noodles (look at the ingredients on the back of the package for "bleached" or "enriched" those are two things you DO NOT want in your food)

Directions:

Prepare noodles according to package and set aside. In a medium frying pan, sauté tomato and bell pepper in 1 tbsp pasta sauce over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add red onion and garlic and sauté for 2 minutes. Stir in the rest of the pasta sauce and the seasoning. Reduce heat to med-low and continue to stir until hot. Divide & combine noodles and sauce and serve. Delish!

Sometimes I like to make mine a little spicy by adding 1 tsp sriracha sauce & 1 tsp red pepper flakes… gives it a nice kick.
