Antishay inspires again (as always)

OK, This was too tasty looking NOT to share. Props to Shanti a.k.a "Antishay". You can find her on facebook right here, you don't want to miss out on seeing all the wonderful things she posts!

Here is a picture directly from her page (taken on HER camera!) of the beautiful results of the recipe I will be posting underneath it!!

Pesto pasta w/ veggies - approx. 550 calories:
This recipe is for 1 person as an entree, or 2 people as a side dish.

INGREDIENTS

~1/8 cup pesto (see above), more to taste
1/2 zucchini, thinly sliced
1 roma tomato, diced
1/6 small onion, cut finely
1 clove garlic, minced
red pepper flakes
olive oil
salt & pepper
whole wheat noodles of your preference

INSTRUCTIONS
Start by boiling a pot of water and beginning to cook the noodles. Then, in a frying pan or skillet on low-medium heat, pour 1/2 to 1 tsp of olive oil. Add red pepper flakes and let simmer for a minute.

Toss in zucchini. Flip the zucchini and oil until all is evenly coated with a teeny amount of oil. Add onions and 1/3 garlic, toss again. Keep on medium-low heat until pasta is done cooking. Don't overcook - watch the temperature of those zucchini!

When noodles are finished cooking, strain and return to pot. Add zucchini mixture, raw tomato, and remaining garlic. Mix and let sit for 1-2 minutes to cool and cook the tomato a tad. Then add pesto sauce, mix well, and serve. 

Antishay has been an awe-inspiring motivator for me. I originally found out about her on her youtube channel, called "Antishay's channel". I would highly recommend looking at her videos and liking her page on facebook!
