Meat Free Monday: Roasted Vegetable Linguine with Torn Fresh Basil

Healthy Eating· Recipes

PASTABOWL_02 This week’s meat-free recipe was made possible by my dear friend, Nicole.  She was kind enough to loan me a few copies of her Vegetarian Times magazines so I can try it out before subscribing.  After going through just one magazine, I had marked 12 pages with either recipes or information I wanted to share with you all.  That’s when the hubby, who is not 100% on board with this meat-free stuff, said to me, “why don’t you just subscribe to the magazine?”  Well, um, okay!  :-)  So it’s done, I’m now an official subscriber and really should get these magazines back to Nicole…

Today’s recipe was from a February issue, so it’s all about love and Valentine’s Day.  The note for this recipe says:

“Asparagus spears are packed with vitamin E – aka the sex vitamin for its ability to boost fertility and stamina.  As for basil, Italians know the herb by another name:  “kiss-me Nicholas.” 

Somehow I think the hubby will be on board with this meat-free Monday recipe!

Ingredient List

Serves 6

  •  
  • 2 cups sliced shiitake mushrooms
  • 1/2 lb. fresh or frozen asparagus, cut into 11/2-inch pieces
  • 1 small onion, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 2 Tbs. olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (2 tsp.)
  • 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1/2 13.25-oz. pkg. whole-wheat or white linguine
  • 1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss together mushrooms, asparagus, onion, oil, garlic, and red pepper flakes in large roasting pan. Roast 20 minutes, or until mushrooms and onions begin to brown, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

2. Add tomatoes to pan, and roast 7 to 10 minutes more, or until tomatoes shrivel and soften. Transfer vegetables to bowl. Add wine to roasting pan, stirring to scrape off any stuck-on bits from bottom of pan. Place roasting pan on burner over medium heat, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes, or until wine has evaporated by half; or return roasting pan to oven 5 minutes, and let wine cook off.

3. Meanwhile, prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain pasta, and reserve 1/2 cup cooking water. Stir reserved cooking water into reduced wine in roasting pan.

4. Return pasta to pot. Add wine mixture and vegetables, and toss over medium-low heat until heated through. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Stir in torn fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.

Cheers! It’s my first pumpkin spice latte of the Cheers! It’s my first pumpkin spice latte of the season! 🧡 Here’s how I cut down on calories when ordering:

✴️ order a tall instead of a grande (-80 cal)
✴️ hold the whipped cream (-70 cal)
✴️ swap out regular milk for non-fat milk (-50 cal)
✴️ reduce the pumps of syrup…I’m not a sugar-free syrup girl and I don’t think 1 less pump changes the flavor (-30 cal per pump)

I only indulge once, maybe twice a week, but these customizations keep me on track! My tall pumpkin spice latte comes in at 150 calories vs. 300 calories! 🧡

Laundry is a perpetual chore in my house. 🧺 Jus Laundry is a perpetual chore in my house. 🧺 Just when I think I'm finished with all the loads, more dirty clothes appear and it's time to start another load. Unfortunately my swap for today doesn't fix that 😆, but it does fix the need for a non-toxic, natural and affordable fabric softener. I'm no where near being 100% chemical-free in our house, but I've made swaps here and there that make me feel pretty good about the everyday changes I'm making to a healthier lifestyle. ⁠

Hi 👋 I’m Angela. Welcome to my everyday road Hi 👋 I’m Angela. Welcome to my everyday road to a healthy-ish lifestyle! 😆 

I will be the big 5-0 next year 🎉 and I really want to be in better shape by the time I get there. Most days I *think* about exercising, but I’m constantly sabotaging my own efforts. My biggest problem is I don’t prioritize my exercise time. I tried adding it as a meeting on my calendar, but I know it’s a “flexible” meeting so I’m always cutting into that time, to the point where I tell myself I no longer have the time. 🤷🏻‍♀️ And if I sit down at my desk in the morning and start checking work emails, the probability that I’ll fit in a workout goes down exponentially.

Today I chose not to sit down at my desk right away. Instead, I saw my kid off to school then went straight to the gym. Everything else waited until I got home, and the rest of the day I was able to focus without feeling guilty that I had not worked out. 

Today was just one day. I don’t know if it will stick, but I hope it does. I feel better about this plan than any other I have tried. It feels sustainable. 💪🏼

How about you? How do you make sure you fit in time for your health? How do you motivate yourself?

I’m not getting any younger, and neither is my s I’m not getting any younger, and neither is my skin. The dry and spotty mature skin struggle is real. But I am convinced this PM routine that I do every other night, along with my daily AM vitamin C serum,  helped me with my melasma. 

Every other night I use:

✅Counter+ Lotus Glow Cleansing Balm
✅Reflect Effect Overnight Resurfacing Peel (the piece de resistance)
✅All Bright Brightening Facial Oil 

And don’t forget daily C Serum and sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen.
