This wholesome whole-wheat pasta dish with fresh tomatoes, basil, and olive oil is not only nutritious but also bursting with vibrant flavors. It's a perfect meal for those who crave a healthy and delicious dinner option, while also being quick and easy to prepare.
- Use ripe, juicy tomatoes for the best flavor. If tomatoes are out of season, consider using cherry tomatoes or even canned tomatoes as an alternative.
- Fresh basil is key to this recipe. If you're unable to find fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but reduce the amount to 1 tablespoon.
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions to keep it firm and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Reserve a cup of pasta cooking water before draining. If the pasta mixture seems too dry, use the reserved water to achieve the desired consistency.
- Make sure to finely chop or press the garlic cloves to evenly distribute their flavor throughout the dish.
This whole-wheat pasta with tomato, basil, and olive oil is a delightful and healthy meal that's sure to impress. It's simple yet packed with flavor, providing a nutritious option that's also incredibly satisfying. Enjoy this dish as a light lunch or a hearty dinner, perfectly paired with a side salad or some freshly baked bread.
