No Sauce Pasta

This recipe can be modified in a million different ways. The ingredients listed here are my preferred combination of vegetables. (You'll notice a lot of my recipes have similar ingredients. Like it says in the "blog description" for this site, I keep things simple. That includes my shopping list.)

Serving
1 person (multiply ingredients as needed)

Ingredients
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup whole grain pasta
1/2 cup sweet peppers
12ish asparagus spears
4 oz of lean meat (Picture is a lean pork sausage. Chicken works wonderfully too!)
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
Salt and pepper to liking

Instructions

1. In skillet, heat olive oil and add vegetables (any veggies you enjoy will work - the key is proportion to the pasta).
2. Once vegetables have warmed a bit, add garlic powder, onion powder, and pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Remove vegetables from heat once they are able to be cut with a fork. Set aside in covered dish to keep warm.
4. Begin to boil pasta according to instructions on the box.
5. While pasta is cooking, cook lean meat in skillet (can be same skillet that cooked the vegetables) seasoning to taste (just avoid salt if possible).
6. After meat is cooked through, slice into small pieces.
7. Combine drained pasta, mozzarella, vegetables, and meat into serving bowl and stir.
8. Enjoy! The cheese and seasoning from the vegetables will flavor the pasta. No sauce needed.
