Use your leftover summer sheet pan ratatouille veggies for his quick and easy weeknight meal!
Pasta can be part of the Mediterranean diet, especially when it is done right! Always pick a whole wheat pasta or a legume-based pasta as this adds more fiber and nutrients. Pack your pasta plate with tons of veggies – like the eggplant, peppers, summer squash, tomatoes and onions in this dish. Opt for a simple sauce made with pasta water, olive oil and lemon juice or a tomato-based sauce. Cream-based sauces are loaded with calories and saturated fat.
