Quinoa Fusilli Primavera (It's Vegan!)

Recently, I discovered Andean Dream Quinoa Fusilli. That might be a mouthful, but it's worth it, if you want gluten-free & allergen friendly fusilli. It's also organic, vegan, non-GMO and corn free. I used it to make some Fusilli Primavera, a very satisfying mouthful.

INGREDIENTS: 

8 oz (1 box) Andean Dream Quinoa Fusilli 

16 oz (1 bag) 365 Everyday Organic California Style Blend (Broccoli, Cauliflower, Carrots) 

1 Tbsp. olive oil 

METHOD

Bring 3 - 4 quarts of water to a boil, add salt if desired

Add fusilli, reduce heat and cook for 14-16 minutes. 

Stir occasionally.

Drain pasta and set aside in a large bowl.

Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil. 

Gently stir to coat pasta with olive oil.

Put vegetables in a microwave-safe dish. 

Add 4 Tbsp. water. 

Cover and cook on high for 6 -8 minutes, stirring twice during cooking. 

Drain vegetables and add to pasta.  

Stir to combine.

Season as desired. 

Serve & enjoy!
