Pasta mama/5 recipes

This recipe was given to me by a former co-worker. It is much lighter and healthier than regular lasagna.

Try this original pasta dish that is ideal for a dinner for two. Great served with freshly toasted garlic bread.

Layers of textures and flavors in this salad. Crunchy and fresh bell peppers, sweet edamade, salty olives, feta and nutty pine nuts together make this salad amazingly tasty.

You will be amazed by how creamy and delicious this pasta dish turns out. Asparagus adds lots of nutrients, and crispy prociutto gives the just right amount of indulgence to the dish. Use whole wheat pasta to give extra fibre boost.

The recipe was given to me a dozen years ago at a soccer game. It is a delicious version of a famous Italian soup.

Yummy!!! Nice and easy recipe that turns out very delicious.

Looking for delicious rapini recipes? This one should be on your to-do list. The sun-dried tomatoes, capers, black olives, and feta cheese bring the Mediterranean flavour right onto your plate.

This frozen margarita is a berrilicious treat. Sweet, cool, refreshing and goes down smooth. Great for unwinding on a hot day or any festive occasion.

Make these pretty snow flake cookies look more appealing and attractive by decorating them with Christmas icing. They may look too pretty to put into mouth :)

This was excellent - I had to add in a few button mushrooms because I didn't have enough portobello's but I don't think it altered the flavor too much. My whole family (including my 3 year old) loved it. I served it over spaghetti that I had whipped up earlier in my pasta machine. It was a very quick and easy dish to prepare that would easily be worthy of company...bravo!

This stir fry is sweet and as fiery as you want to make it with Sriracha sauce. This recipe uses beef, but you could substitute chicken or shrimp. It's quick and easy to make, and is impressively attractive.

I squeezed a bit lemon juice and grated some fresh lemon zest to give it a zing, which actually worked beautifully. Certainly well satisfied our palate and tummy at the same time. A yummy and healthy way to enjoy a stir-fry pasta.

Unlike traditional alfredo sauce, this light version has much less fat and calories but still tastes creamy and delicious. Broccoli not only adds some bright color to the dish, but also provides lots of nutrients. For an even healthier version, use whole wheat pasta.

This turned out great. Much lighter tasting than a traditional heavy lasagna but very much like a lasagna without the fat and carbs from the pasta. I found a single serving more than filled me up. Like a no-guilt lasagna.

Bell peppers and sausages are cooked in a tasty tomato sauce, then served over a bed of warm penne. An ideal meal for a busy week night.
