Edamame Bowtie Pasta

Recipe Type
Description

The perfect light salad to accompany your lunch.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces bowtie pasta, preferably whole grain
  • 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup shelled edamame, thawed if frozen
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 medium carrots, shredded (about ½ cup)
  • a cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Directions

Directions

Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil to prevent sticking; let cool.

In a large bowl, toss the cooled pasta with the corn, edamame, bell peppers and carrots. Drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil and toss to coat. Add the Parmesan; toss again and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Dietary and Nutrition

Some whole-grain foods are “brown,” but color isn’t the best clue for whole grains. Sometimes names on bread labels can be confusing. Breads labeled “stone ground wheat” and “100 percent wheat” are not whole-grain foods, but “whole-wheat bread” is a whole-grain food.

Look for the health claim. The health claim is allowed only on foods that meet the whole-grain standards. This is a sample of a whole-grain claim:

“Diets rich in whole-grain foods and other plant foods that are low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risks of heart disease and certain cancers.”
