Pasta

 
                                             Pasta Primavera Marlinera

 Cook up some whole wheat pasta with some salt in the water, drain, rinse with cold water, set aside.
Note: Cook whole wheat pasta for 20 minutes, it takes much longer to cook whole wheat. Your family will like whole wheat pasta this way. Most people serve it half raw and it is ‘yucky’. The good thing is that it is difficult to overcook whole wheat pasta, it is almost always al dente. Once you cook it properly, you will love whole wheat much more than the cheap white imitation!
 
In a non-stick wok or wide pot put the following ingredients in different corners, do not mix yet (it’s ok if the juices run together):
 
1 small onion chopped
½ bell pepper chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
 
Cover with:
3 T of thick coconut milk from the top of the can, pour this over the chopped veggies in the bottom of the pan until you are ready to cook it all
1 pack firm tofu, cubed ½” squares, lay this on top of the above ingredients
1 t oregano
1 t red pepper, cayenne flakes
1 t basil or fresh basil at the end of the recipe
½ t thyme
½ t tumeric
1 t Bill’s Best Chicken seasoning optional
1 t salt

Now that all of these things are in the pot you can close up the pot and leave it there for a few hours and finish it up later, just before dinner. Have the following vegetables chopped and ready for cooking when it is time to eat:
 
2 cups fresh tomato, chopped
2 small zucchini, sliced
1 cup fresh snap peas, remove the strings and ends, or you could use broccoli
      flowerets instead, asparagus works too!
1 tomato blended with 1 T arrowroot or tapioca starch or non-GMO cornstarch
2 cups coarsely chopped chard (remove the white stem)
Fresh basil, 1 bunch of the leaves washed. This is the last thing you stir in just the moment you serve.
 
 
Now to cook:
 
Turn on high burner where you have coconut milk and chopped seasonings. Keep the lid on, cook about 3-5 minutes, if you have a glass lid you can see when the liquid runs out and then it will be time to add the tomato, zucchini and snap peas. Mix well.  Cover and continue on high 5 minutes, mixing occasionally. Add pasta, chard, blended tomato and cornstarch, mix well. Cook 3-4 minutes till peas are crisp cooked. Taste for salt. Serve.
