This is one of my favorite healthy recipes. It's not my original, I got it from an Italian restaurant. On the menu it was called Fetteccini OGT. It's very simple and quick to make (about 15 mins after the first time).
A single serving of fetteccini pasta.
2 Roma tomato's
Fresh basil
2 garlic cloves
2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil
The prep takes about as long as it takes for the pasta to cook.
Dice the tomato's, mince the garlic and tear up the basil leaves.
In a saucepan preheat the olive oil to the point the rim of the pan is hot to the touch of your finger.
When the pasta is about a minute or two from being done add the tomatoes to the pan and begin to saute, after about 45 secs, to a minute, add the garlic and basil to the mixture. Be very careful here as the garlic will burn quickly. Saute the whole mixture about 1 minute more, shaking the pan to keep things moving, remove from heat.
You can go two ways there, the restaurant I'd order this at served it both ways. After draining the pasta you can put the pasta and the OGT into a large bowl and toss until mixed evenly, OR, you can put the pasta on a plate and pour the mixture over the pasta.
I fix it with a good garden salad, tossing with my dressing choice rather than adding the dressing when on my dish. It keeps me from using too much dressing. While I love a good garlic bread....I avoid bread with this meal.
