December Meal: Garlic Lemon Broccoli Pasta


I did it! I made 12 different meals this year!! I wanted to use my new bowl and plate set so bad that I decided to make pasta as my last new meal of the year. It seems like over the holidays I don't get very many veggies into my diet (I mean who chooses veggies when there are cookies to be eaten?!?!) so I decided to pump up the veggies for this meal. This is also my first meatless meal! I was surprised I actually stayed full without any chicken.

Garlic Lemon Broccoli Pasta (with a side salad of spinach topped with ranch)

1 serving spaghetti noodles
1 head of broccoli
2 cloves of garlic
zest of 1 large lemon
juice of half of the large lemon
1 - 2 T of olive oil





Start by boiling your noodles. Halfway through add your chopped broccoli. While that is cooking zest your lemon and grate your garlic. When the noodles and broccoli are to your liking drain the pot. Put your noodles and broccoli back into your pot and add the olive oil, garlic, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir everything together and enjoy!
