Cilantro-Lime-Garlic Pasta

I had all the ingredients in my fridge, but also found myself craving pasta- so I decided to throw this together and see what would happen. It turned out to be just what I wanted - something light, quick, flavorful, and filling!


Makes: 2 servings (about 2 cups once cooked)

You'll need:
1/2 lime, juiced*
2-3 medium cloves of garlic, minced
3/4-1 cup onion, chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 cup cilantro, lightly chopped
4 oz. long pasta (I used angel hair)
2-3 tablespoons olive oil
salt and pepper to taste

* You can use more or less depending on preference.


Cook pasta according to box. Sautee onion and garlic in olive oil. Add the halved grape tomatoes when the onions are almost done (translusent in color) so as not to over cook them. Add lime juice and additional olive oil, if needed, and let simmer on low for a few moments while you're draining your pasta. Toss pasta and cilantro in mixture and serve.
