Here was a great recipe I made today, kind of just threw things together and it was really good.   Perfect for a hot day to replace carbs lost during the day.



Makes 4 servings only 480 calories

What you need:

Organic Whole Wheat Pasta (Shells, Spiral, or linguine)--If you have a gluten allergy use rice noodles.
Organic Carrots --6-8 whole carrots chopped.
Organic Peas  1/3 bag of frozen organic peas
1 medium organic cucumber chopped
1 tablespoon of fresh chopped organic cilantro
3/4 cup organic vegetable broth (or 1 can of organic tomatoes diced if you are okay with tomatoes)
3/4 cup of feta cheese
1 clove organic garlic thinly sliced
2 teaspoons fresh organic oregano
2 teaspoons fresh organic basil
1 tablespoon organic lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 cup chopped organic green olives

What to do:
Follow directions on Pasta instructions for cooking & draining.

In a separate small pan, add organic vegetable broth, carrots, peas, garlic, black pepper, and lemon juice--bring to a boil.  Remove from heat and add to drained noodles in glass serving bowl or corneyware.  Add feta cheese, oregano, basil, cucumber, and green olives, mix.  Place cilantro on top for presentation.  Serve.
