Being a lover of pastas and spaghettis, I couldn't resist myself to come up with a quick and easy dinner when my stomach gets empty. I looked into a recipe book and saw this easy pasta that could be put together in no time. Furthermore, its spicy, which I need to have for most of my meals! Getting hungrier by the minute after my exercise, I went to the kitchen and got my hands dirty. In about 15 minutes, my dinner was ready! After the meal, I was more than satisfied......
- 1 cup nonfat chicken broth
- 3/4 cup low-sodium tomato paste
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 2 quarts water
- 2 servings of fusilli
- 1 tablespoon grated nonfat Parmesan
- Combine the first 7 ingredients and bring to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat and then simmer.
- Cooked the fusilli according to package instructions and time.
- Toss the pasta and sauce together and sprinkle with Parmesan.
- The original recipes calls for cavatelli instead of fusilli. I just swapped it to what I have in the kitchen. You can also substitute it with spaghetti or other kind of pasta.
- I also added in black pepper chicken sausage, baby Batavia and mini cucumber.
