Easy Linguine w/ Coconut Butter

You know when you have one of those nights as a mom when you didn't really plan dinner? Well, I had one of those nights recently and got creative and ended up with a tasty dish. When everyone in the family eats it, then I know it was a success! (or they were starving ;) lol.

Ingredients:

• Linguine noodles
• 3 small tomatoes-cut into desired size
• 1 1/2 C frozen broccoli
• 1 1/2 tbs coconut butter
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp Italian season
• 1/4 C feta cheese-sun dried tomato w basil flavored (or less,but its our favorite)
• few shakes Parmesan
• dash of pepper/salt

Directions:

1. Cook broccoli in 1 1/2 C water in medium saucepan until desired tenderrness
2. Boil noodles ~3-5 minutes (mine where Open  Natures precooked ones get in cheese section)/drain
3. Melt coconut butter w/ garlic and Italian seasoning to in skillet on Low
4. Add drained broccoli  and noodles and tomatoes  into seasoned butter-toss and blend
5. Add salt/pepper to taste and then cheeses.
6. Serve :)

Simple, with only a few ingredients. I really think it was the coconut butter that made it sooo yummy. I think it would have been really good with fresh minced garlic cooked in the butter first ;) If you want it less calories, omit the cheese, personally that's my favorite part, but do whats right for you!
