Kohlrabi Pasta

 This is a new recipe that is so good that John wanted it 2 nights in a row..it is gluten free and counts towards your vegetables. It also cooks in 1 pan.  This recipe makes 2 servings. It takes just 3 ingredients. If you go to Trader Joe’s or a grocery store that have the ingredients prepared for you there is virtually no prep time required. 

Kohlrabi is also know as a German Turnip despite the fact that is not a root vegetable. It belongs to the Brassica or mustard family  and is related to cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower making it a cruciferous vegetable. It is also a good source of vitamin C.  It is also low in calories, and sodium. It even provides 2 grams of protein per cup of raw kohlrabi. 

So here we go. You will need:

10 ounces of clean and grated kohlrabi 

10 ounces of white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced.

2 tablespoons of olive oil

Optional: Yo Mama’s Pasta Sauce. This is our preferred brand.  It is sugar free and tastes great. 

Microwave the kohlrabi for 4 minutes.  Sauté the mushrooms in a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the freshly microwaved kohlrabi to the mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are well cooked.  Serve immediately   You may add pasta sauce on top, but be sure to warm it up first. 

You may also top it with the protein of your choice. 

Serves 2. 

Please be aware that these are my personal favorites. I have not been paid to promote any of the above products. We always keep a jar or 2 of Yo Mama’s pasta sauce in the pantry, it is a household favorite.
