Meatless Mondays could include a medley of roasted Heirloom Tomatoes with Avocado and brown Rice Pasta. Brown rice pasta is a different twist on a regular flour pasta. Updates.
Roasted Heirloom Tomatoes with Avocado & Brown Rice Pasta
Ingredients
- colorful heirloom cherry tomatoes -1 pint, sliced in half lengthwise
- avocados -2 ripe, diced into chunks
- brown rice pasta -1 pound
- garlic -2 cloves, minced

Instructions

- roast tomatoes in oven until they begin to char, approximately 7 minutes
