This is a quick and easy dinner recipe that will hit the spot. All the delicious flavors that you crave from a pizza are packed in this pasta dish; all that is missing is the crust. If you still need that crunch from the crust, serve garlic bread as a side!
Ingredients:
1 can san marzano crushed tomatoes
9 oz whole wheat penne pasta
5 basil leaves (if you do not have fresh leaves, then use dried basil; its worth getting fresh leaves)
1 cup low fat mozzarella cheese
Preparation:
1. Heat water with a bit of salt in a pot over medium high heat. When the water begins to bubble, add the penne and cook according to the packaged directions (about 15 minutes).
2. Open the can of crushed tomatoes and heat in a pan over medium-low heat. Slice the basil leaves and add them to the sauce. Let the sauce warm, but not bubble, until while the pasta is cooking.
3. Once the pasta is ready, strain it in a colander and pour it into the pan. Mix until well combined. Serve the pasta in the bowls. Evenly divide and sprinkle the mozzarella cheese amongst each dish.
