Quick and Easy Pasta

Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Whole Grain Angel Hair
I cooked a nutritious meal in 10 minutes flat!  I love Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Whole Grain Angel Hair Pasta.  I can boil the water and cook the noodles in 10 minutes.  After the water is boiling, you only need 3-5 minutes to cook!

So, I take the chopped raw veggies from Central Market (see earlier post) and put them in a pan with a little olive oil.  Put the pasta pot on to boil.  By the time the water boils and the pasta cooks, the veggies are perfect.  Add  a little pasta sauce and grated Parmesan and you have a great meal.

Hodgson Mill Whole Wheat Whole Grain Pasta has 210 cals. for 2 oz. of dry pasta; 1g fat; no cholesterol; no sodium; 41 carbs; 9 g protein!; g sugar; and 6g fiber!!!  Can't get better than that!

Try it.  It is definitely more dense than white flour pasta.  However, the heavy texture makes you feel full and I don't know of another pasta that offers as much protein and fiber.

You can buy this brand at high end most grocery stores.  Enjoy!
