When you want to incorporate more or different veggies into your diet but aren’t sure how, think about combining veggies with some of your other favorite foods. Even if you have the same old veggies in your fridge from last week, and have had enough steamed or frozen veggies, cook them up a different way this time.

Hayley from the Buff Chickpea has cooked up something good and veggies are what’s on the menu tonight. Of all the ways I’ve had broccoli — covered with cheese, steamed or sauteed with butter — I’ve never tried roasted broccoli. And instead of pouring melted cheese on top of the florets, she tosses broccoli and cauliflower in olive oil.

Still, because pasta isn’t complete without a little bit of cheese (in my humble opinion), Hayley sprinkles some freshly grated Parmesan cheese on the finished product. But what about the meat sauce? Hayley’s Roasted Broccoli and Walnut Pasta is a tasty vegetarian dish that you will love. Why? Because the toasted walnuts provide just the right amount of protein to fill you up.
