dinner for under $12

i'm thrilled each month when i receive my everyday food.
yesterday i ran out for the ingredients in this meal,
if you already have olive oil, salt & pepper..
this should cost you less than $12.
& we had a ton of leftovers.

shells, cauliflower, chickpeas & ricotta

1. roast at 450degrees a head of cauliflower cut into florets with a 19oz can of cento chickpeas (rinsed/drained) with olive oil and salt & pepper for 25 minutes
2. roast two cups of 1inch cubes of crusty bread for 10minutes
3. cook a box of whole grain barilla shells
4. mix cooked shells, cauliflower mix & 3tablespoons fresh chopped parsley & 2tablespoons olive oil
5. top with 1/2cup ricotta & toasted bread cubes

yummy, healthy & vegetarian!

i recommend cento chickpeas (they're the best!) & barilla's whole grain pasta (least whole grain tasting)
