PASTA TRICK

With summer comes... less clothing! To prepare myself & the hubby I try and choose healthier yet satisfying dinners.  A trick I picked up from http://www.andeelayne.blogspot.com/ suggested that you lightly saute spinach in a skillet with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt...then fill the bottom of your bowl with it therefore needing less pasta to fill up! 

LAYER 1

Starting from the bottom I had organic spinach, whole grain pasta, Trader Joe's marinara, chopped spinach/fontina chicken sausages also from Trader Joe's, and lastly sprinkled with fresh basil and parmesan.  Served with lemon Perrier instead of wine YUMMY!
