Three easy pasta recipes

When I get home and have little time to prepare lunch, the fastest ever dish is pasta. You can enjoy a full meal in 10 minutes (longer to boil water).

Pasta is a genuine food, most of which contain only water and flour, to be safe for people of all ages. The difference is in how we dress. But following the rules of the Mediterranean diet, which combines vegetables with carbohydrates, if the right amount of fat (good fat) is used, it can really be considered a high quality food for all ages.

The number of calories of a pasta dish (not given the dressing) is approximately 300 kcal. In addition, the dressing makes a complete meal for about 600kcal, that matches perfectly with a balanced diet and healthy.

There are many industrialized dressings that may contain chemicals, but as seen in the following recipes, is a more simple and easy to cook a good meal and a very easy to find the freshest ingredients.
