Clean out the fridge pasta

Since I have joined Weight Watchers, I have been trying to eat more veggies. So I have been creating some veggie-full dishes.

This the meal I created the other night.

Ingredients
Shrimp (what I had left in a bag in the freezer)
Whole wheat pasta (what was left in the box :))
broccoli (1 head cut into small pcs)
mushrooms (3 or 4 large sliced)
onions (1 small diced)
roasted red pepper (couple strips out of a jar)
seasoning salt
pepper
dash of cayenne
olive oil

Sauce
cottage cheese
garlic
Parmesan cheese
milk


I steamed the broccoli.
In a fry pan, I sauteed the onion til translucent, then added the mushrooms and roasted red peppers. Once the broccoli was done (still crisp), I added it to the fry pan. And a tsp of chopped garlic and seasoning.

I then got the water boiling for the whole wheat pasta.
In my mini food processor, I added a couple tablespoons of 1% cottage cheese, a tsp of chopped garlic and a couple tsps of parmesan cheese.
I whizzed this up and then added a splash of milk to make it creamier.
Note: I then microwaved this to warm it up - bad idea - it completely separated and got real weird - I still used it though.

Once the veggies were cooked and the pasta was on, I added the shrimp to the fry pan.

It only needs a few minutes to cook the shrimp.
When the pasta was done, I drained it and then mixed in the sauce.

I plated the pasta and then topped with the shrimp veggie mixture.

Even though the sauce went wonky on me, it still tasted fine.

This made enough for lunch the next day.

Afterward, I though I should have added some feta cheese, fresh chopped tomatoes or even sliced green olives. Well there is always next time :)
