Pine Nuts And Pasta Recipes

Bowtie pasta loaded with mushrooms, fresh spinach, and cheese in a rich mushroom gravy. 4 POINTS® per serving

Fresh light dinner with great flavor, the size of this recipe is great for two if your husband eats two portions. :)

Very quick and easy, can use fresh instead of canned tomatoes. Very tasty hot or cold.

The original recipe this comes from uses olive oil and bacon, and has only peppers as the vegetable. It is very tasty, but higher in fat and calories than I am comfortable with. I like variety in my vegetables, so I reduced the amount of peppers and added celery and carrots. You could use other vegetables, broccoli and asparagus would be good, or zucchini and tomatoes. This could be a vegetarian dish if you substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. I serve it as a side dish with meat or poultry, but a slightly larger portion will make a meal.

I would welcome any comments on this dish, or any adjustments you make that made it better.

This recipe makes either a side dish or a meal and can be served hot or cold.

This is delicious and so healthy -- comfort food. Plus it comes together very quickly. An easy weeknight meal, but fancy enough for company. There is a healthy dose of protein (without any meat) and fiber.

My favorite way to prepare pasta. Instructions for roasting the garlic and toasting the pine nuts can be readily found on the Internet

I always ordered this dish at our favorite Italian restaurant and it came swimming in oil. This modified version ramps up the broccoli and provides a healthy meal around 300 calories. The pine nuts give it a delicious, nutty flavor.

meatless dish with a creamy sauce

I made this up one day and it is a family favorite
