Pasta Peppers Olives Recipes

This is one of my favorite dishes to make and I have enjoyed making it even healthier by substituting some ingredients for flavor packed healthier ones.

This pasta packs a nutritional punch, and the brightly colored vegetables are quite a sight!

When visiting my friend Shelly, we took a long walk to the local farmers market and bought a variety of fresh summer squash and carrots. Since I love pan frying veggies and garlic, I thought we'd give this a try. It was super yummy, possibly higher in fat than I would like but you can use less olive oil.

this *sounds* way more complicated than it is. a simple, absolutely delicious meal that whips together in under 30 minutes. ENJOY!!

A light, flavor packed, vegetarian pasta salad made without mayo. Tastes great after sitting in the fridge for a few hours so that the flavors develop.

heart healthy, and loaded with antioxidants!! boiling your pasta in green tea gives you similar benefits to drinking it, and gives the pasta a really nice flavor, almost like spinach pasta. to reduce the calories even more, grill the chicken rather then pan frying

This light pasta dish has 2 1/2 servings of vegetables in each portion.

A simple, delicious pasta that uses the absorption method (similar to risotto). The starch on the pasta makes a wonderfully creamy sauce. This can be make as directed, or left on the stove a bit longer to carmelize.

This quick meal is a proven kid-pleaser, especially with the little ones. While this makes enough for six, expect requests for seconds! Because it's got the pasta and beans, it's a great low-cal, low-fat complete meal. Add a salad and you're set.
