Quick and Easy Vegetarian Pasta

Quinoa Corn Curls Box

The other night I was hungry right after work. I was in desperate need of a grocery trip, but didn't want to wait until after a shopping trip. So I literally threw together things we had lying around the house.

Strained Noodles

I just bought some Veggie curls a week prior, I had hoped to make a pasta salad out of them. But alas hunger pains kicked in and I couldn't wait to use them. I boiled water for the veggie curls. They are corn quinoa blend noodle that is colored with red peppers and spinach. Quinoa is a grain that is high in protein. When I use these noodles, I don't have to add a meat source of protein. These noodles are enough to leave you full and satisfied.

Vegetarian Quinoa Veggie Curls Pasta
1-8 oz box of Quinoa Veggie Curls uncooked
water to boil
1-15 oz can of tomato sauce
1 tablespoon of italian seasoning
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon of garlic
1/2 teaspoon of black pepper
shredded mozzarella cheese for topping

Once the water boiled I threw in the whole package of noodles in for about 10 minutes.
While the noodles were boiling I created the red sauce. I opened the can of tomato sauce, and threw in some brown sugar, italian seasoning, garlic powder and black pepper to taste.

Ingredients for Sauce

I strained the noodles, and then added the sauce and some shredded mozzarella cheese to the top of it. I micro-waved it until the cheese melted.
I made this dish for myself, but my significant other literally came up from the basement to see if what smelled good. I made a dish for him and he complimented it up and down. It was a quick and easy main dish.

Fast and tasty
