Can you help me make this recipe healthier?
 
So I took a recipe that's not vegetarian and will make it vegetarian, but I'd like to know if I can add something to it to make it more packed with nutrients and more a filling meal. Here's my modified version of the recipe:

1 lb broccoli rabe, cut into 2 inches pieces
8oz uncooked fiori or fusilli pasta
2 tbsp evoo
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced (I would probably double this)
1 leek, rinsed and sliced into half moons
8 oz meat sub (I'd probably use "ch'kn cutlets or sietan), cut into 1 inch chunks
3/4 tsp salt
3/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1 cup veggie stock
1 tsp crushed red pepper (I'd omit this and add to my own bowl so the kids can eat it)
1/3 cup fresh gated pecorino Romano cheese
1 tbsp freshley chopped majoram

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil. Immerse broccoli rabe in water 1 min or until bright green. Remove with slotted spoon, place in a towerl to keep warm. Cover pot, bring water back to a boil.

2. Add pasta, and cook 12 mins or until al dente. meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over med high heat add evoo, garlic, and leek. Cook 2-3 mins or until just golden brown. Season meat sub with 1/4 tsp salt and pepper each. Raise heat to high and add chicken. Cook 2-3 mins or until well browned. Add brocolli rabe, stock, red pepper and remaning salt and pepper. cook chicken and veggies 6 mins or until tender and lquid has reduced by half. drain pasta, transfer to dish. top with sauce, add cheese, and majoram and toos to combine.

Maybe more veggies, grain and a legume? I just don't know which ones!

I think some white beans or kidney beans would be good in it.
