summer spagett!

I always think of pastas as more of a winter type meal since they are usually warm and steamy and filled with heavy sauces or creams and delicious heavy meats..however I came up with a few pasta recipes that are not only light and easy to eat during the hot summer months but they are healthy and low calorie:) I am a huge lover of olive oil...so instead of making a heavy cream sauce or red sauce I simply tossed my angel hair noodles with olive oil salt and pepper and it was AMAZING. Here are the items you will need for this fabulous dish.

 

Shopping List:

 

 

one package of Barilla angel hair pasta (whole wheat)

One medium sized eggplant-peeled and chopped into small bits

one large squash-chopped into bite size peices

one large zuchinni-chopped into bite sized peices

three cloves of fresh garlic-minced

one half of a medium sized yellow onion-chopped

fresh basil

fresh tomato sliced

olive oil

salt/pepper

Pecorino or Romano cheese -grated

 

 

 

Procedure:

 

In a large skillet start by browning the garlic and onion in a little olive oil and butter,

when it starts to give off that beautiful aroma then add the other chopped veggies. Add a little more olive oil and stir and fold in some salt and pepper until they are nice and browned and soft. While your veggies are browning stick your  noodles in boiling water with some salt and pepper and cook until soft. Once the noodles are soft add the desired amount to a bowl stick some veggies on top and garnish with a sliced tomato and basil..add your pecorino and WALA!!!! SO EASY and super healthy:) I had happy tummies in my house that night.
