Lemon-Basil Vegetables and Noodles
Recipe Notes
Containing artichoke hearts, broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini, this veggie-soba dish is kissed with fresh-squeezed lemon juice and a touch of chopped fresh basil.
Besides dairy foods, calcium comes from dark green veggies like broccoli. Bones need calcium to build and maintain their strength and integrity.
Ingredients:
2 cups chopped fresh broccoli florets (12 oz)
2 cups chopped fresh cauliflower florets (12 oz)
1 large onion, chopped (1 cup)
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel

2 cups cooked soba (buckwheat) noodles or vermicelli
2 tablespoons chopped fresh or 2 teaspoons dried basil leaves
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon olive or vegetable oil
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 large zucchini, chopped (2 cups)
1 box (9 oz) frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
