Tweaking my old favorites to match my 4 year old son’s taste buds has also been a good adjustment for my health. With minimal spices and naturally flavored with vegetable and herbs, this is one of my family’s favorite pasta dish. The whole wheat spaghetti can be substituted with brown rice pasta for the same effect and we do so interchangeably.

Further Food Commentary:

Thanks Linda for this recipe, as it’s just in time for the summer. As a low sodium, peanut free, seafood free, seed and soy free recipe, what more can we ask more! If one uses the brown rice pasta instead, it can be deemed gluten free as well. Onto the positive qualities that this dish is: with a good amount of garlic, your body will thank you. Garlic helps control bacterial, viral, fungal, yeast and worm infections and has been deemed as able to kill bacteria like e. coli and salmonella.

Plus, the recipe’s olive oil enhances the good fats, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, improving one’s risk of developing heart disease and/or type 2 diabetes.
