Looking for something light? This linguine pasta tossed with fresh tomatoes, basil leaves, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, and kalamata olives will hit the spot without the extra calories ;) I think it's perfect for lunch with a salad or even for dinner!
Ingredients:
- 16 oz linguine pasta
- sea salt
- olive oil
- 5-6 roma tomatoes, diced
- 3/4 cup of pitted kalamata olives
- 6 sun-dried tomatoes, drained and diced
- 3/4 cup of mozzarella cheese (you can replace this with parmesan cheese, but it will be more salty)
Ingredients for the dressing:
- 5-6 sundried tomatoes in oil (drained)
- 2 tbs. garlic infused red wine vinegar (or regular red wine vinegar)
- 6 tbs. olive oil
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 3/4 tsp. black pepper
- 1 garlic clove
- 3/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of packed basil leaves, chopped
Instructions:
- In a large pot, bring water to boil with salt. (Just follow the instructions on the back of the pasta package)
- For the dressing, in a food processor/blender/the magic bullet, combine sun-dried tomatoes, red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper.
- After 10-12 minutes of boiling the pasta, drain the pasta. In the same pot, add the tomatoes, olives, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and mozzarella cheese. Mix well. Pour the dressing over the pasta, sprinkle with parmesan cheese, and chopped basil leaves. Toss well.
Costs:
