Sphategiti With Grilled Chicken
Spaghetti with any protein is one of the quickest meals you could whip up for a simple yet highly nutritious meal. Boil some spaghetti in salted water. While your pasta is cooking, grill your chicken. You could use marinated chicken or grill some fresh chicken breasts in olive oil. Add some salt and freshly cracked pepper to season. Once it did, let it cool off and cut it into bite-sized pieces. By now, your pasta should be done.
Drain the pasta water but save some for later. Saute onion and vegetables of your choice in a pan with olive oil. Then, add some Italian seasoning and toss in your pasta. Next, use some sauce to bring your pasta to life. Grate some fresh parmesan, add your chicken, give it a good mix and enjoy your meal! You could even pair this with a glass of lemonade or some seltzer to give it an extra kick.
Zoodles With Italian Sausages
Zoodles or zucchini noodles are popular healthy substitutes for traditional flour-based pasta. They not only have a low calorific value but have lots of fiber and a high water content keeping you full for longer. Start by making your zoodles using the zucchini noodle maker. Once you have your pasta substitutes, add a handful of Italian sausage to a saucepan and let them cook for a few minutes. Next, add a spoonful of pesto Pomodoro sauce and let it saute for a while. Toss in zoodles, give it a good mix, and dig in!
You could refrigerate your zucchini and add these zoodles to a cold pasta sauce to help cool off on a hot day. Toss in some fresh cherry tomatoes, olives, and basil to make it light and healthier.

Cook your shrimp well, and add a generous heap of this pesto-infused Pomodoro sauce. Let it cook for a bit. It will let the shrimp absorb the rich flavor. Next, add your penne, shrimp, and some fresh olives, and drizzle some olive oil in your pasta bowl. Give it a solid mix, and enjoy!
