I find myself slowly slipping out of my resolution when I am faced with having to cook one of the easiest family meals...PASTA!
This recipe gives me what I need. This dish satisfy's the craving for the carbs while giving me what I need to feel good and recharged.
The Super Grains Spaghetti from Go Go Quinoa cooks just as fast as my kids favorites but gives you way more out of a "bowl of pasta". With 8 grams of protein, 6 grams of Fibre and 25% of the daily recommended intake of Iron it is healthy, satisfying and so yummy! Lets not forget to mention that its also Vegan, GMO Free, Gluten Free, Rice Free and Corn Free. I know after reading that your thinking "no way it tastes good..." but the truth is, its delicious. Its made with a blend grains and it has nutty flavour to it and pairs so well with this quick and easy Spinach Pesto.
Trying to get something healthy and delicious on the dinner table in under 20 minutes is a struggle...not with this recipe!
