Vermicelli Caprese - Low Fat

This is a favorite one of mine because it is low-fat and tasty. Sometimes the better for you recipes are blah and don't include pasta. This one is a win in both categories - hope you like it!

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. whole wheat vermicelli (thin spaghetti), uncooked
  • 1/2 cup Light Italian Dressing and Marinade
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 cups halved grape or cherry tomatoes
  • 1 cup mushrooms, washed and sliced
  • 1 cup Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese
  • 1/3 cup fresh basil, finely sliced

Directions

Cook pasta as directed on package. Heat dressing in large nonstick skillet on medium-high heat. Add onions, mushrooms and garlic; cook and stir 2 min. Add tomatoes; cook 5 min. or until heated through, stirring occasionally. Drain pasta. Add to tomato mixture; mix lightly. Sprinkle with cheese and basil. Enjoy!
