Ingredients:

1 10 oz bag frozen cauliflower rice
1 1/4 lbs large (21/25) shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 (14 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed well
1 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/2 cup sliced green onions, white and light green portion
1 Tbsp minced garlic
2 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp lime zest
2 Tbsp fresh lime juice
1 tsp ground cumin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
1 small avocado, sliced

2. Thaw the cauliflower and put in a large bowl.

An easy pasta dish that takes two minutes to prep, and 50 minutes to bake. Just to note, I used vegetable stock instead of beef stock as this is one of my meatless meals.



Ingredients

1 16oz jar of spaghetti sauce (my jar was 23 oz. and I used the whole thing)
1 14 oz can of diced tomatoes, drained
1 10 oz can of fat free reduced sodium beef broth (can substitute vegetable broth)
1⁄4 cup Zesty Italian Dressing
18 oz refrigerated cheese filled pasta (mine was 20 oz. and worked fine) (can also use ravioli)
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees

2. First combine sauce, diced tomatoes, broth & dressing in a 13×9 baking dish.

3. Add pasta and toss to coat. Cover and bake for 50 mins.

4. Take out of the oven and top with cheese. Let stand for 5 mins until the cheese melts.
