Healthy Pasta Dish



I couldn't believe how yummy this dish came out!!! And it is just sooooo good for you! And you can customize it to whatever veggies you have on hand at the time. The veggies, chicken & pasta were cooked separately & then brought together for this yumminess! The ingredients below serves 2 & nutritional information is based off of one serving.


Ingredients


2 oz pasta (I didn't have whole wheat pasta on me at the time...should make about a cup)
1 chicken breast

1 yellow squash
14 cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup broccoli
2 carrots
1/4 cup sweet onion
*garlic, crushed red peppers & other seasonings to taste*


-Cook the pasta (I don't add salt to the water)
-Bake the chicken (400 degrees F for 20'ish mins...season to taste...I used garlic)
-Saute the veggies (just use a spray of Pam)


You can use olive oil if you like so that the pasta doesn't stick, however you can find Pam type spray that is made with olive oil & it has no nothing & also does the trick.


The nutritional information was gathered using the recipe calculator from Calorie Count & it also got an A!!!
