Healthy but Tasty Meal with Whole Wheat Pasta

Thanks to challenger Angelaim for sharing this recipe for a spicy twist on whole wheat pasta. This definitely counts toward the pasta mini challenge.

Usually for me whole wheat pasta is such a turn off but the Whole Foods 365 brand whole wheat spaghetti doesn’t have the usual gritty and chalky taste of other brands. It’s light and chewy and perfect for a healthy meal.

I like to add grilled shrimp with a light salsa with a freshly cooked pot of pasta and a simple and healthy dinner is created in less than 30 min!

See below for the salsa recipe:
1 tablespoon sugar
2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 habanero pepper, cored, seeded, and finely chopped
1 tomatillo, finely chopped
