My Go-To Dinner-- Vegetable Penne Pasta!

A lot of people may think being a vegetarian limits your food choices, but it has really stretched my creativity. This is my go-to dinner, when I want a ton of flavor & I'm hungry!  The meatless crumbles even provide the perfect amount of protein.

You'll need:
1/2 bag of meatless crumbles (optional- I use Morning Star brand)

1/2 box whole wheat penne
 1 green bell pepper

1/2 onion, white

1 clove garlic

olive oil

1 cup frozen corn

2 cups spinach

salt

1/3 bunch cilantro

1/2 tsp oregano

3/4 jar pasta sauce (I like the low sodium versions)

shredded cheese (for topping)

1. Get out all your ingredients. This recipe has several & you don't want to be missing anything.
2. Start cooking pasta according to box directions.
3. While cooking pasta, heat up a Tbsp of olive oil in a sauce pan over medium heat.
4. Warm up your frozen meatless crumbles, while you're chopping the pepper, onion, & garlic.
5. Then, saute pepper, onion, garlic in sauce pan about 8 mins.
6. When warm, add corn & spinach.
7. Chop cilantro. After spinach has wilted, add cilantro, oregano, and pasta sauce.
8. Serve and top with cheese.
