Olive Pesto Pasta (I forgot to put it 1st)

1/2 box whole wheat thin spaghetti
1 tsp olive oil
pinch salt
5 cups water


2 Tbsp Olive Oil, halved
1/2 cup walnuts
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups baby spinach, torn
1 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese


Red pepper garnish


Boil water with olive oil and salt, add pasta. Cook the pasta until al dente 7-8 minutes.

Heat oil in nonstick skillet, add nuts and toast 3-4 minutes stirring constantly. Add garlic, spinach, basil, salt and pepper and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in pasta and addition 1 tbsp olive oil and toss. Sprinkle mozzarella on top. Serve warm. Serves 2, Less than 500 calories per serving.
The purpose of this lab was to make a healthy meal for a pregnant woman. I learned how to cook pasta. My group functioned ok. My sensory perception was it looked really good. To make this recipe healthier, I would not use oil. To make this recipe taste better, I would add salt. Overall, I would give this lab a grade of 100. My role in the lab was to cook the pasta and I used my pasta making skills. :D
