One whole wheat switch that I have been resisting is pasta. In the past whole wheat pasta has always been too bland and heavy for me. Just not the right texture.
Anyway, I had been resisting the change, but I recently bought some organic 100% whole wheat pasta that claimed to be light tasting. It actually was much better than I remember the whole wheat pastas of the past being! But just in case I was planning on trying to add flavor to the dish in other ways. I also like to try to maximize my vegetable intake at most meals.
My husband does not like as many veggies as me, so I cooked the veggies separately and added them to the sauce at the end. I put browned ground beef and sauteed mushrooms into all of the sauce. Then I also added sauteed yellow squash, onion, and red pepper to my sauce. I topped it off with some Parmesan cheese and some fresh organic basil from my herb garden, and it turned out to be a delicious dinner!
