Whenever I go out with friends, the one thing that I don’t forget to order is pasta. It is versatile, creamy and full of flavours, which makes it a hit amongst people of all age groups. But, most of the pasta recipes prepared by restaurants are high in calories (due to butter and cream) and less in nutrients which often leaves me feeling guilty for indulging in it. This is why I am always looking for easy and nutritious pasta recipes to cook for guilt-free snacking. Do you also relate to my situation? If yes, then I have come to your rescue!
