Penne Pasta with Arugula and Basil

Here's an adaptation of a Weight Watchers recipe that I enjoy. I like that it's so fresh and simple.

Ingredients:

Whole wheat penne pasta

Arugula, cut into smaller pieces

Fresh Basil, cut into smaller pieces

Cherry or grape tomatoes

Black Olives

Capers

Grilled chicken (optional)

Directions: Notice that there are no amounts listed with the ingredients; you can tailor it to your liking. Here’s how I generally fix it. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cook pasta according to package. While the water is boiling, spray the tomatoes with Pam or Olive oil, salt and pepper to taste. Roast the tomatoes for 10-15 minutes, until they’re wrinkly and start to split. Drain the pasta, add the arugula and basil to pasta. (You can add them fresh to the finished product, but I like them wilted.) Add roasted tomatoes, olives, and capers to the pasta mix and enjoy!
