Five Ingredient Pasta Toss – 500 Calories

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Whole wheat pasta (56 grams)
  • 1/2 cup Tomatoes (115 grams)
  • 1/2 cloves, minced Garlic (1.5 grams)
  • 1/2 cup White beans (124 grams)
  • 1/16 cup leaves, whole Basil (1.5 grams)
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil (13.5 grams)

Directions

1. Rinse and drain beans, crush garlic and chop basil.

2. Combine the olive oil and garlic in a small bowl. Set aside.

3. Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.

4. Place the pasta, beans, tomatoes, basil, and 2 tablespoons of the garlic olive oil in a large bowl; toss gently until combined. Serve the remaining olive oil at the table to drizzle over individual servings.
