Whole grain brown rice & quinoa pasta (GF) with organic grass-fed ground beef, cauliflower alfredo sauce, sauteed red peppers, and broccoli. This dish came out so much better than expected. I recommend making extras because you’re gonna want seconds.

Ingredients

1 lb organic grass-fed lean ground beef (can substitute ground turkey)

1 Jar of alfredo sauce (I like using the cauliflower sauce)

1 Red Pepper

1 Cup Broccoli Chopped

Green Onions

1 bag Whole Grain Penne Pasta

Spices: Pepper, Chili Powder, Tumeric, Garlic

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in pan and add beef
  2. Add spices to taste: pepper, chili powder, turmeric, garlic
  3. Boil water for pasta in a separate pot. Be sure to only boil for the recommended time as GF pasta tends to become mushy when overcooked since gluten is a binding agent
  4. Heat alfredo sauce on low heat in another pot
  5. Once beef starts to brown, stir and add in red peppers and broccoli and cook until beef is no longer pink and veggies are soft
  6. Mix it all together and add a fresh spritz of lemon juice and green onions on top

Easy & Delicious! This meal is packed with protein and fiber to reduce carbohydrate absorption and keep you fuller longer.

I love adding Tumeric into almost everything I cook. Tumeric is great for reducing inflammation, which helps protect against heart disease and some cancers as it’s also a powerful antioxidant. This creamy cauliflower sauce gives you the taste of alfredo without all the fat! It’s a must try to change up your pasta dishes. Speaking of pasta, choose pasta that’s made from whole grains as it’s got more fiber and other essential minerals. This means it keeps you full but doesn’t spike insulin levels as much, which is the key to weight management.
