1/4 bunch Cilantro, finely chopped
Directions
In a deep pan heat approx 3 Lb water.

Boil for 8-12 min on low, or until pasta becomes tender.
Remove hot water and gently rinse pasta with luke-warm water. Let it cool for 5 min.

(Hint: If you want less of sweet taste you may reduce the quantity of Pineapple and increase cucumber and vise-versa)
.
PS: The actual calories, fat, cholesterol etc. values listed here are higher, as I could not find Whole wheat pasta in the list. These are values for regular pasta. I haven't included olive oil cooking spray as the cooking spray has zero calories and zero fat.
