Broccoli spinach walnut pasta
Ok, if I haven't lost you already on the name of this entrée (I'll admit, it's a doozy), bear with me another minute and I'll give you my best sales job.
This dish consists of every major food group! In the sauce, we've got veggies (broccoli and spinach), dairy (cottage cheese) and protein (walnuts). The pasta is of course our grain group. As if this wasn't exciting enough, the recipe is quick to prepare, yields leftovers and, most importantly, tastes delicious.
I dug it out of my archives and plan to add it in my regular rotation.
