Instead of a doughnut indulgent day, I had a great pasta dish for lunch.
I was not finished with the basil that I had for dinner last night. First, I used some of Rao's Homemade Marinara Sauce. This marinara sauce is really great. It is all natural and the ingredients include: imported Italian tomatoes, imported Italian olive oil, onion, garlic, basil, oregano, salt and pepper. Simple, all natural ingredients and really great.
So I started with Rao's as my base sauce, then added in some of Whole Food's Organic Capers. Very salty, just the way I like them!
I then added some balsamic vinaigrette, a touch of olive oil and a dash of honey. I love adding honey to marinara sauces, especially with capers, because it off sets the saltiness with a little touch of sweetness.
As my pasta, I used organic whole wheat Bionaturae pasta. I love whole wheat pasta because it tastes a bit more crunchy to me than regular pasta. Bionaturae is an awesome whole wheat organic pasta from Italy.
Then, I topped of the pasta and sauce with some fresh basil, Parmesan cheese and some fresh ground pepper.
Loved this dish with the fresh ingredients all throughout!
