I. Love. This. Pasta. I’m almost tempted to leave this post at that, but that wouldn’t be enough to tell you about it’s lightness, the brightness of the lemon, how quick and easy it is to make.
This may seem on the surface to be a simple tomato and basil sauce but it’s so much more. First of all the use of the cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes if that’s all you can find) makes it sweet but it’s the lemon juice that makes it. The lemon provides an amazing tang behind the sweetness of the tomatoes which keeps the dish light. Perhaps the best endorsement is that I served this to my husband and my parents without telling them it was part of “a diet” and they all loved it so much my Mom asked for the recipe and Adam’s requested it several times again!
At only 298 calories and 6 grams of fat per serving I have enough fat and calories left over in my budget to toss some Parmesan cheese on top and make a nice salad.
Have you ever tried using veggie pasta’s?? Very colorful and good for you….I’ve lost 100lbs. in 8 months just by changing my eating habits. I used to be a chef and now REALLY enjoy cooking so much more knowing and learning more everyday. Thanks for what you’re doing….so many people need help out there to realize that food is great in moderation and prepared the right way and it can taste sooooo good and so much better than the crap they stuff their faces with now.
I love this kind of pasta dish. Fresh and simple. Looks delicious.
Been there, ate this. It’s a keeper!
