Whole Wheat Penne Genovese Recipes
WHOLE WHEAT PENNE IN FRESH TOMATO SAUCE
This hearty wheat pasta dish gets a boost from sweet and tangy tomatoes and creamy goat cheese sauce. Ripe cherry tomatoes get amazingly sweet and juicy when cooked. I paired it with creamy goat cheese and fresh basil. In-fact, salty capers were also a great addition to each bite. We are accustomed to use semolina pasta in my home. Every time I brought whole wheat version, it sat in my pantry for ages and ultimately expired and thrown away. Even if I cooked it for dinner, Vishal ate it half-hearted. So why waste few ingredients? I stopped trying it. Quite frankly, even I not liked taste of whole wheat pasta until my friend shared few tricks to make it delicious. First and most important, it definitely needs juicy and hearty flavors to stand up to the taste and texture of whole grain pasta and second, cook whole wheat pasta a minute more than the package directions for a little smoother texture. So, I followed the advice and added all these sweet and juicy fresh flavors to make it flavorful yet whole grain healthy. Sometimes, I also add zucchini or dice rotisserie chicken in it to make hearty, yet easy and healthy weeknight meal.You can always use this sauce for regular pastas instead of whole wheat, but in my home, this fresh sauce is wheat pasta supporter.Enjoy Cooking and Let's eat healthy one meal at a time !!
