Instructions: Pasta with Marinara Sauce & Steamed Broccoli - any pasta will do, but the more interesting the pasta, the more interesting your meal. You know what spaghetti tastes like, so try some whole wheat pasta, parsley-garlic angel hair, chili pepper linguine - whatever strikes your fancy. The thinner the pasta, the faster it cooks. The sauce can be any vegetarian jar sauce (Classico, Three Brothers, Healthy Choice, etc.- check the individual label) that looks remotely interesting. Jazz up some boring red sauce with a can of artichoke hearts (water-packed, drained) or some sliced fresh mushrooms - dump these items directly into the sauce as it heats. Yum! Steam some broccoli florets in water for about 5 minutes and then throw on top of the pasta with sauce. Serve with warmed French bread for a very quick, satisfying meal. Preparation time = about 10 minutes, or however long it takes your pasta to cook.
