This is another favorite - I cook up lots of broccoli, then puree half of it into a pesto. The other half is cut into little florets. Toss the broccoli with some quinoa, sliced avocado and a drizzle of feisty chile pepper oil, and you've got a nice meal on your hands.
Simple and satisfying, this colorful soup contains a hearty mix of bowtie pasta, cannellini beans, onion and diced tomatoes that's perked up with garlic, parsley and grated Parmesan.
