Easy and Delicious Pasta PDF Print E-mail
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
  • Pasta (enough for two; I usually make enough so I have leftover pasta on hand)
  • 1 large can diced tomatos (796 ml)
  • bazil (dried or fresh; I use 3-4 teaspoon dried)
  • 3-4 green onions, chopped (use scissors it's easier)
  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
  • garlic (you be the judge)
  • pine nuts
  • small sprinkle of salt and pepper (optional)
Directions:

Boil large pot of water and add pasta of your choice; my favorites are rotini and penne. While the pasta is cooking, empty tomatoes (w/juice) into mixing bowl and add all the ingredients except pine nuts. Mix well and heat in microwave for about 2 mins. Serve sauce over cooked pasta and sprinkle generously with pine nuts.

*if you want to make it really low fat just omit the oil completely

*fresh basil is best, but dried is a lot quicker and handier

Serves: 2 large

Preparation time: 15 min
