Easy Pasta Salad Recipe alla Caprese - Recipe for Mediterranean Pasta

A Quick and Easy Recipe (about 15 minutes)

By Anna O.

This Pasta Salad Recipe alla Caprese is one of my favorite Italian recipes. 

Instead of having a simple Insalata Caprese (Caprese salad),
I added whole wheat pasta to give me enough carbs to fuel my body and burn fat.
It is my simple recipe for a quick Mediterranean pasta with an Italian flavor.

Ingredients

-  Whole wheat pasta or regular pasta
-  Arugula or basilico (basil)
-  Fresh red tomatoes
-  Mozzarella

Salad dressing

-  Balsamic vinegar
-  Extra virgin olive oil
-  Salt and pepper to taste
-  You may add pepperoncino too.

Preparation

- Boil pasta as indicated. 
- On a separate bow, mix the arugula/basilico,
  tomatoes, and mozzarella
- Add the salad dressing before serving the pasta.
- You can either mix the pasta and vegetables or
  as I prefer, serve pasta first and on top the
  mix of (arugula/basilico, tomatoes, and mozzarella)

Serving suggestion:

Remember to serve MODERATELY to keep your weight loss diet.
Use a pasta bowl or a medium portion.

You can eat it hot or cold.  It works both way.

You can have a side dish of CHICKEN to have your protein, or you can have a protein shake to help you enhance body fat loss and maintain lean muscle.

Dessert:
Serve with fresh fruits, for example a cup of pineapple chunks
Drinks:  Cold herbal tea, fresh fruit juice, water, lemonade
Wine:   Your favorite glass of wine.  Not more than 1 glass of wine.
Coffee: After meal you may have an espresso, regular coffee, or your
             favorite herbal tea.

I hope you enjoy this Pasta Salad Recipe alla Caprese, a simple and healthy mediterranean salad with an Italian touch. An easy pasta dish for lunch or dinner.
