There are some healthy pasta recipes that are way too healthy and not even worth the fewer calories. But this healthy pasta recipe will not make you miss meat, cream, and any of the other good stuff because of the flavors and satisfaction in every bite.
There are some days when you want to balance your daily meals with something a little more healthy. This is a great recipe to take a break from meat and seafood, yet still have a significant dose of protein with added fiber and nutrients from all the ingredients.
Almond pepper pasta has it all. Nutty taste and texture from almonds, natural sweetness from roasted peppers and tomatoes, and a healthy creaminess from blending in extra virgin olive oil.
With the guidance and recommendation below, you can make this recipe your own depending on what you have stored in your pantry and refrigerator.
Ingredients
Serves about 4 persons
2. If you do not have canned or bottled pimientos and whole canned tomatoes, roast 3 large red bell peppers and 2 roma tomatoes in the oven at 450 F for about 20 minutes. Be sure to pre-heat the oven, drizzle the ingredients with olive oil, and season with salt. For a small quantity of roasting, quarter sheet pans are a great kitchen must-have.
