MAKE IT SHINE!

Not your same old broccoli and cheese. This dish is a great and filling side to any meal with a twist. You can substitute any kind of pasta you like but I prefer Rotini. Since there's no cheese in this recipe, and by using low fat yogurt and low sodium chicken broth this can be very healthy too.

My preparation of this turned into a tempest in a cookpot...I thought it would taste good, but my broccoli and red pepper, while still OK, were not the freshest, and I accidentally undercoooked them a bit. Then, I used whole wheat rotini pasta. Usually I like this, but somehow it was the wrong flavor for this dish. Then, roaring to the finish line, I added a cup of Greek yogurt at the end and watched it dissolve and disappear before my eyes. Couldn't see it, couldn't taste it. I have been doctoring this up with more yogurt and seasonings just to be able to slog through it this week (made it to bring for work lunches). Maybe someday I'll get up the courage to try it again, changing techniques and pasta next time. At least it is nutritious!Reply
