Creamy Goat Cheese Pasta 'n' Veggies - Detox Friendly

Yes, you CAN have dairy on your detox!! Goat's milk and cheese are MUCH easier for your body to digest.  This pasta dish is DELISH!  I got the recipe from my friend Jeannine that sells the Arbonne products I told you about on my detox post Days 3-5.


CREAMY GOAT CHEESE PASTA 'n' VEGGIES - Gluten Free

Ingredients list:

Brown Rice Pasta
Grape Seed or Coconut Oil
Garlic
Red Pepper Flakes
Broccoli
Red or Yellow Peppers (or both!)
Parsley
4-6 ozs. Goat Cheese (you can add as much or as little as you'd like.  I am just guesstimating)

If you like fish or meat:

2-3 Chicken Breasts

1 lb. Raw Shrimp (you can use cooked shrimp, just add toward the end when you are adding your reserved liquid.)

Cook 1 pound of BROWN RICE PASTA. (reserve 1 cup of the liquid used to cook the pasta before you drain it.

Meanwhile, heat oil in pan and saute garlic and red pepper flakes with the chopped chicken breast OR shrimp until cooked through.  (If you are cooking vegetarian, add the broccoli and peppers to the garlic and red pepper flakes now.) Add the veggies and saute until slightly soft (I like mine a little crunchy).  When your veggies are the way you like them, add the RESERVED LIQUID from the pasta in small amounts so it's not too runny.    Add the goat cheese and toss until the cheese is melted and everything is mixed well.  Top with a little chopped parsley.

You can add just about any meats/veggies that you like.  Think LOTS OF COLOR for the most nutrition and eye appeal.  The addition of the reserved liquid from cooking the pasta makes the dish taste creamy.
