Quick, Easy & Light Pasta Sauce




Ever wonder what you can prepare as a quick, easy & light lunch or dinner? Here's a recipe that incorporates all of the above. First, prepare your pasta according to package directions. Wheat pasta tastes great and is much healthier than regular pasta.

Next, prepare your sauce as follows:

Ingredients:

*2 cloves of garlic, very thinly sliced
*2 tablespoons of butter
*chopped onion (optional)
*Chopped red or bell pepper (optional)
*olive oil
*Seasoning, such as Mrs. Dash Garlic


Preparation instructions:

Melt butter in saucepan & saute garlic (& onion/pepper, if so desired). Toss cooked pasta with olive oil. Once garlic is well done, pour sauce over pasta and toss well. You can add fresh or dried parsley to the pasta. You can also grate romano or parmesan cheese onto pasta to give it additional flavor. Serve with broiled or baked grilled chicken breast or sauteed shrimp or crawfish.

This is a light, delicious sauce that takes little time to prepare and makes a great last minute meal.
