Parmesan Pasta with Roasted Tomatoes & Herbs

(10 min)

Ingredients

-box of quinoa-corn pasta

-box of cherry tomatoes

-2 cloves garlic

-parsley/ herbs

-grated parmesan cheese

-olive oil, salt & pepper

1. Boil pasta. I used rotini.

2. While pasta is boiling, toss sliced cherry tomatoes, 2 diced cloves of garlic, olive oil, parsley, salt & pepper in a bowl.

3. Roast tomatoes for 5 min.

4. Drain pasta, mix with roasted tomatoes and sprinkle on copious amounts of parmesan. 

I actually prefer quinoa pasta to whole grain pasta, because the flavor of the pasta is less pronounced so you don't get that bitter "whole grain" pasta taste. Eating quinoa pasta tastes like refined, not-good-for-you pasta, but unlike a regular grain (it's actually a seed), quinoa contains every essential amino acid your body needs, making this a super nutritious dish!
