Meatless Monday: Pasta with Roasted Broccoli & Walnuts

Looking for a light, healthy pasta dish for Meatless Monday?  Try this orecchiette (“little ears” — but you can also use shells) with roasted broccoli and walnuts from Real Simple magazine.  I recommend adding extra broccoli and more Parmesan cheese, and if you want to up the veggie content even more, roast some baby tomatoes along with the broccoli, or add a few handfuls of frozen peas to the pasta water 30 seconds before draining it.  In the version pictured above I added a whole head of roasted cauliflower and used whole wheat fusili noodles.
