Recipe by

For the Pasta

• 2 large carrots, peeled and julienned
• 2 serving soba buckwheat noodles
• 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 red bell pepper, sliced
• 1 yellow bell pepper, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 crowns broccoli, chopped
• 1 zucchini, sliced and halved
• 1/2 lb. ground pork sausage (omit to make it vegan!)

For the Sauce

• 3/4 cup fresh basil leaves
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley
• 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• 1/2 tsp sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions

• Add coconut oil to a large skillet or wok, and preheat over medium heat.
• Sauté carrots and broccoli in pan until they change color.
• Add the rest of the vegetables and spice to your flavor preference.
• Before they cook all the way, put them to the side in a bowl.
• Add the sausage to the pan and cook thoroughly.
• Add the veggies back in, add garlic and mix together.
• Let cook all together for 2-3 minutes.
• Boil the pasta (without adding salt) for the instructed amount of time (usually 8-9 minutes).
• Once tender, strain the noodles, and immediately dump into a bowl of cold water.
• Rub the noodles with your hands to get the extra starch off, and set to the side until your mixture is ready.
• Plate the pasta and veggies, drizzle with EVOO, salt, pepper and finish with fresh herbs (basil and parsley).
