Light & Herby Angel Hair Pasta Dish for Tonight!

[PamperedSheep]

I have a box of Angel Hair Pasta and wanted to make a light dish for tonight. I have a friend that made a pasta last week and it just tasted like it had a light sauce with herbs mixed in. Unfortunately, this friend is out of town for a wedding, and I am stuck at home craving this stupid pasta. Anyone have any recipes like this? I bought Broccoli, tomatoes, and chicken to include in it. I really want something different than a red sauce. Thanks!!!

:chef:

How much are you trying to make?

For a light sauce - try a couple tablespoons of olive oil w/ a tablespoon of butter, add a little lemon juice (a couple splashes) and some crushed garlic. That would go well with the broccoli and chicken. If you have some fresh basil, throw a little of that in there too.

The light sauce that I use is a couple of tablespoons for Olive oil, a cap full of our Italian seasoning, some cherry or grape tomatoes and a couple of cloves of garlic crushed. Saute them in the pan and as the tomatoes start to heat slightly smash them with a fork. Yummo!!!

DH usually just uses a little bit of olive oil and spices and mixes it in with the noodles after they are cooked.

I do pretty much the same as Becky, then top the dish with crumbled feta cheese. Even my kids love it!

I do the same as above, with a splash of balsamic vinegar before serving, and fresh parmesean cheese instead of feta
