I love pasta! Who doesn't? But with the sauce and cheese people put on it it is not always healthy nor vegan. In this post I will show you how to make a healthy low fat and low sodium healthy but tasty pasta. This pasta is my go to dinner if I want something quick, easy and healthy to make. I also share an added step for you to use on occasion but I do not recommend adding it every time you make it.
Steps:
Pasta:
1. Boil a pot of water.
2. Once the water boils put gluten free pasta (or regular pasta if you prefer) in and cook according to the box
3. Drain the pasta and put in a bowl
Sauce:
1. Add a can of no salt diced tomatoes to a pot and heat over medium heat for about 10-15 minutes.
1. Heat a dry skillet.
2. Put your vegetables in the pot (any veggies you want) and cook to your desired texture. Keep water on hand and use if needed
3. This step is optional but I like to add crushed red pepper to mine for an extra kick.
4. Mix the sauce, vegetables and pasta and but it in a bowl!
1. You can totally just mix the pasta and vegetable sauce as is or if you want to make it a little more fancy you can follow these next steps.
2. Mix the pasta and sauce and poor into any pan with high sides that will hold all the pasta (I use a bread pan because it is the perfect size).
3. Now add a 1/4 cup of Daiya vegan cheese to the top and bake in the oven on broil for about 3 minutes or until the "cheese" gets crispy.
4. I would not recommend adding the cheese every time you make this dish because it is high in fat and sodium but once in a while it is okay (and also very yummy!)
I hope you enjoy and try out this pasta because it is amazing!
