Pasta With Fresh Veggies

Home » cooking 101, food and health

pastaMEP

This is such a simple dish to make. Chop up a selection of fresh veggies – saute with a little (2 tsp) olive oil in a nonstick pan and add broth and fresh herbs (basil, oregano). Serve over heated pasta. Top with parmesan cheese. We find this is a great way to use up extra veggies and offer a low-cal, low-fat dinner that is a new twist on pasta with red sauce.
