DF & GF Heart of Palm Pasta Bake
INGREDIENTS
1 can @palmini_pasta linguine (or regular cooked pasta! I also love Banza)
1 lb organic grass-fed beef (I use @traderjoes)
2 cups organic marinara (I use @raoshomemade sensitive marinara)
1/3 cup vegan mozzarella (I use @so_delicious)
1 Tbs minced garlic
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 zucchini
Organic baby spinach
1 red bell pepper
Other vegetables as desired: mushrooms, onions, etc.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 300
In a large pan, cook the beef on medium heat and separate into crumbles. Drain the excess fat liquid and place meat in a bowl on the side.
Chop your vegetables and cook in the pan for 5-7 mins (add a drizzle of olive oil if needed).
Strain the palmini pasta and add in cooked pasta with garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 min.
Add seasonings and cooked beef and cover in marinara to your liking, 1-2 cups. Turn stove to low and heat through.
Add entire mixture to 9X9 baking dish. Cover the top with vegan or organic mozarella. Cook 10-15 minutes, until melted.
