Ingredients
  • Roasted Brussel Sprouts:
  • 2 lbs. fresh brussel sprouts (separated from stalk)
  • 4 Tbsp. olive oil or melted vegan margarine
  • 1 tsp. pink salt or sea salt
  • ¾ black pepper
  • Pasta with Balsamic Garlic Sauce:
  • 1 Box of Gluten Free Penne Pasta
  • 1 8oz. jar of Sun Dried Tomatoes, packed in Olive oil, diced
  • 4 T olive oil (Saved from Sun Dried Tomato Jar)
  • 4 T Balsamic Vinegar
  • 5 cloves of garlic minced
  • ¼ t salt
  • 1 package of Beyond Meat Soy Chicken, diced OR 1 can of cannellini beans (drained)

Instructions
  1. Roasted Brussel Sprouts:
  2. Preheat oven to 400*. Wash brussel sprouts, cut off ends, peel off yellowed or damaged leaves. Cut sprouts in half and large ones in quarters. In a large bowl, toss brussel sprouts with olive oil, salt and pepper. Spread evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for approx. 30- 40 minutes. Sprouts should be browned on the outside and tender when you stick a fork in them. Bake longer if you like more browning.
  3. While your brussel sprouts are baking prepare your pasta according to the directions on the package. Drain and rinse when done and set aside.
  4. Balsamic Garlic Sauce:
  5. In a small saucepan, add 4 T of olive oil reserved from jar, and heat over a medium heat. Add minced garlic and saute for 1 minute. Remove from heat, and allow oil to cool for 1 minute. Add vinegar slowly, and then return to heat. Simmer on low for another minute, stirring. Add salt. Remove from heat.
  6. Add Sun Dried Tomatoes and beans (or Soy Chicken) to pasta, and toss. Pour sauce over pasta and toss to coat pasta.
  7. When brussel sprouts are done baking, sprinkle with extra salt if desired, and then serve on top of pasta.
  8. Serve pasta with extra vinegar and/or olive oil and vegan Parmesan Cheese if desired.
