I love to take spaghetti noodles and and cook them to just al dente!. once cooked I set them in a cooled water bath to shock them so they don't get mushy!.
In a separate bowl I add 1/4 cup of EVOO and the following ingredients to your taste: chalets, green onions, Italian parsley, sliced olives, drained canned mushrooms (or fresh ones if you prefer) and a little minced garlic!. combine well and pour over your pasta!.
Serve with baked chicken or baked pork chops or just add some more veggies (such as broccoli, tomatoes or asparagus) and have as a main salad dish!. It is really lite and it tastes great too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
