Easy Peasy

Easy, delicious and Healthy....Just doesn't get much better.  I found this recipe on Pinterest and it was so quick to whip up and perfect for a cold afternoon lunch.

 

 

 

(The non vegans in my family really enjoyed this with a sprinkle of cheddar.) 

Macaroni and Tomato Sauceadapted from Meatless Meals, page 30N
serves 8--supplies protein, calories, Vitamins A, B-1, and C

1 box whole wheat macaroni
1 quart boiling water
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup green onions, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
3 Tbsp flour
1 can tomato paste
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 cup nutritional yeast (optional)

Cook the macaroni in boiling water. When close to done, add the frozen peas and green onions to the water. In a skillet, saute the onions in the olive oil until translucent. Add the seasonings and flour, which will coat the onions. Add the tomato paste and hot water and mix together completely. Drain pasta, and add the tomato sauce to the pasta. Stir to coat. At the table, add nooch, if desired.

I had some left over roasted Asparagus that I tossed in before serving and must say it takes the dish to the next level.
