THRIVE Pasta Florentine

I tried this recipe out of the Smart Start: Chef's Selections cookbook for dinner tonight. You can find it on the THRIVE Life website. I didn't have enough zucchini, so I substituted green beans instead. This dish is really versatile, you can use whatever veggies you want to!



Adapted from THRIVELife.com
Serves 4

2 cups Egg Noodle Pasta
1/2 cup Sausage Crumbles
1/2 cup Zucchini
1/2 cup Mushroom Pieces
1/2 cup Red Bell Peppers
1/4 cup Chopped Onions
1 teaspoon minced garlic
2 1/2 cups Water + 2 1/2 teaspoons Chicken Bouillon
1/2 teaspoon Chef's Choice Seasoning Blend
1/2 cup Tomato Dices
1/4 cup Chopped Spinach
1 tablespoon Basil
1 tablespoon Parsley

Cook the egg noodles in salted water until almost tender. In a large saute pan, combine the sausage, zucchini, mushrooms. bell peppers,onions, garlic, and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let the liquid reduce by about half.
Stir in the noodles and seasoning blend and heat through. Gently fold in the tomato dices, spinach, basil, and parsley. This was really good served with a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top, too!

My job as your consultant is to help you get the best deals and support you in finding what works best for your family. That is why I am so excited to share some new tools to support YOU in building your Home Store!
 
Our new "WHY THRIVE?" site is an interactive look at the benefits of using THRIVE. Videos and infographics teach why THRIVE Foods are superior in convenience, health, cost, taste, quality, shelf life, and versatility. For example, did you know that flash frozen peaches have 21 times more Vitamin C than store-bought peaches? Or that flash frozen spinach has 6 times more Vitamin A than store-bought spinach?
My favorite new surprise they released at convention is the "Smart Start: Taste of THRIVE." It is a box full of the most popular and easiest to use THRIVE products. It also includes specific tips and tools to help you use those products in YOUR favorite recipes, while saving time and money. If you'd like to try something new, it also includes a few familiar recipes from Chef Todd like enchiladas, spaghetti, and cobbler. There are three different Taste of THRIVE boxes. You can purchase each one individually, OR you can add the Taste of THRIVE program to your Q and get one per month. This is a great way to get a "smart start" using THRIVE!
The new "THRIVE Guide" includes all the "instructions" you need for using THRIVE Foods. You'll find preparation instructions, fresh product conversions, and usage tips for every single THRIVE product. It is a beautiful image-rich book with tasty recipes and a quick reference conversion chart. This fantastic resource is 67% off until the end of May, only $7.49! (The Smart Start packs include a FREE copy of the THRIVE Guide in the first shipment!)
