Pasta & veggies that Jack loves

What you need:
Pasta
Romanesco
Chard or kale
Olive Oil
Butter
Salt
Garlic
Parmesan


Start pasta (I use this awesome organic pasta that’s made out of potatoes, rice and non-genetically modified soy – this seems to be easier to digest for me at least)

I chop up 1/2 head of romanesco broccoli, 3-4 leaves chard (small pieces) and 1 sm clove of garlic
Heat pan
Add 1 Tblsp olive oil
Add garlic for 10-20 secs
Add broccoli
Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender

Prep bowl for tossing:
Add 1 Tblsp of olive oil, some salt, 1 Tblsp butter and grate about 1/4-1/2 cup of parmesan in a bowl

Finish veggies:
Add chard (the smaller pieces the better)
Let cook for a minute
Take off heat

Pasta should be done now.

Put hot pasta and veggies in bowl for tossing
Toss until butter and cheese is melted and everything is coated and yummy
Taste to see if you need more salt
Plate
Add more parm

Eat


You can do this with just veggies too. And a variety of veggies and different pastas....
Cauliflower
Broccoli regular
Asparagus
Carrots (although a bit sweet)
Zucchini
Squash
Eggplant
