Description

When you don’t have much time but want to turn pasta into a filling meal, this linguine recipe combo has Mediterranean flair. For added flavor, add some sliced mushrooms (if you have 'em on hand) -- sizzle for a couple minutes before adding the tomatoes.

Ingredients

1lblinguine
20 cherry tomatoes or 1 11.5-can diced tomatoes, drained
15slipepperoni slices
2Tolive oil (light)
3tchopped garlic
1⁄2tdried oregano
1⁄2tAdobo* (or salt)
2Tsour cream, low-fat
1⁄4cfeta cheese, crumbled or Parmesan/Romano grated cheese

Notes

*This recipe uses Adobo, a blend of salt and herbs. I think of Adobo as my “reach-for-it-anytime seasoning.” You can easily substitute salt for it, although the finished dish won't have quite the same flavorful punch. QQM Adobo starts with the best-quality salt—RealSalt™—and is hand-blended with select herbs. Check out Adobo in the QQM Store.

Instructions

  1. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Add linguine and cook for 10 - 12 minutes. Next, slice the tomatoes and pepperoni slices into halves.
  2. Now it’s time to prepare the sauce. Pour olive oil into a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, sprinkle with oregano and Adobo, and then add tomatoes and pepperoni.
  3. Cook for 2 minutes or until tomatoes are just tender and pepperoni is heated through. Turn off heat and stir in sour cream.
  4. When pasta is done, drain and stir in the sauce. Add the feta cheese or grated Parmesan/Romano cheese, if you like.
