Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the whole grain noodles and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced beef to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently until browned and cooked through. Season with dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- In the same skillet, add the cubed pumpkin and cauliflower florets. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sauté for another 8-10 minutes, or until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.
- Add the cooked noodles to the skillet and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles are well-coated with the flavors.
- Remove from heat and stir in the fresh parsley. Let the dish rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, finishing with an extra sprinkle of black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
