Low calorie pasta

An Italian classic, very light, low in calories and deliciously tempting… pasta with rocket and cherry tomatoes.

Ingredients for 4 persons:

• 400gr brown pasta
• 10 cherry tomatoes
• bunch of rocket leaves
• good quality olive oil
• ricotta salata (can be substituted with parmesan)
• salt & pepper

Bring the water to boil and add some salt, throw in the pasta and leave al dente. In the meantime wash the rocket leaves and cut them with your hands into bite sized pieces. Quarter the cherry tomatoes and prepare the cheese shavings. When the pasta is ready, drain it and add cherry tomatoes and pour 2 tblsp olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Plate the pasta, top up with the rocket leaves and the shavings. Your meal is ready.

P.S. You can substitute cheese with mozzarella di bufala which makes the dish even tastier.
