It is the holidays after all...

Everyone knows you don't stay on your diet during the holidays. So if you're gunna indulge, you might as well go all out. Try this simple, but decadent and oh-so-delicious tasty treat I whipped up tonight.

  1. Toss broccoli and asparagus with olive oil, salt, pepper and powdered garlic. Roast on 400 until desired doneness (10-15 minutes).
  2. Cook chopped bacon in non-stick skillet. After a while add chopped mushrooms. Cook for for like 5-10 minutes?
  3. This is where I started improvising, so bear with me.... Throw in a couple tablespoons of butter, and some pinot grigio (or other white wine)... maybe half a cup? Reduce.
  4. Now you need to thicken the sauce. I used about a tablespoon of cream cheese, but I'm sure whole milk or cream would work great too. I may have also thrown in some more butter. ;-)
  5. Cook until desired thickness. Take veggies out of the oven.
  6. Throw in some left over egg noodles or whatever other pasta you have on hand.
  7. Toss sauce, veggies and noodles. Add pepper, salt and parmesan cheese to taste.
VOILA! It's kinda healthy cause it has veggies right?? ;-)




Post Script - Be sure not to drop the leftovers on the floor! (Luckily there weren't too many!)
