I love roasting up veggies and then blending them to make a pasta sauce, and I wanted to share this recipe in particular because I used frozen veggies and just microwaved them, and skipping the roasting step made pulling the sauce together so much faster!
to a bowl, add 1 cup of frozen broccoli, florettes, and one cup of frozen green peas, microwave until everything is soft and warm.
Transfer from bowl to blender, and add milk1 tablespoon at a time until it’s the desired consistency that you like. I only needed 2 tablespoons of skim milk. Season your sauce at this time as well.
and that’s literally it ! I love doing this because it’s such an easy way to get in fiber from a Whole Foods source, and I add it to a serving of Carbe Diem pasta, which is super low calorie and topped with a quick protein like canned tuna! the whole bowl altogether is 332 cals, 37g protein, 34g fiber (though, I tend to only track fiber from whole food sources rather than the fiber substitutes that you find in low-calorie alternatives to pasta and wraps, so I track this as having 11 g of fiber).
