Hi everyone, I am looking for healthy pasta recipes and was hoping you might have some you could tell me about. We don't eat a lot of pasta in our house as my husband is not a huge fan, but our children and I love it. I am on a diet and am wanting to find healthy recipes - I have a few that I made myself but it's nice to have something different every now and then. I make it sometimes with spiral pasta, pesto, vegetables (such as steamed brocolli, carrot, etc)and we love it.

I do not have any specific recipes but I do know that you should steer clear of cream sauce and use more tomato based sauces to keep it healthy.

Thanks for your response! We don't have cream based sauces on our pasta much these days, so we opt for the tomato based ones when we do have pasta. I like just a fresh pasta with steamed vegies & maybe a low fat dip stirred through to give it a little bit of a creamy taste - I use tzatziki or hommus a lot for this.
