I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central for the National Pasta Association. I received pasta samples and a stipend to facilitate the creation of pasta recipes as well as a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Dinner is probably one of the most stressful parts of my day. Trying to come up with a dinner that is easy to make and that everyone will like can prove to be quite challenging at times. Luckily we live in a day in age where there are millions of recipes and inspiration to help us out when it comes to making the perfect dinner for our family.
Pasta Fits is a nutrition and culinary education and resource initiative sponsored by the National Pasta Association. PastaFits.org offers recipes, nutrition information, contest and promotions, as well as general cooking tips and pasta facts. I have found many useful things from Pasta Fits that have inspired me to create yummy dishes that my whole family loves.
Pasta is a great choice for dinner because it’s easy and a quick food to quick that can be made in so many different ways. Pasta is also budget friendly and a versatile option for any occasion. You can pair it with fiber-filled vegetables and beans, heart healthy fish and oils, antioxidant-rich tomato sauce and protein-packed poultry and lean meats.
I recently made a new dish from the Pasta Fits website called Lemon Chicken Pasta. It was SO easy to make and the whole family loved it. It only takes a few ingredients and it’s on the table in less than 45 minutes. These are the kinds of recipes you will find at Pasta Fits and they are perfect for those busy weeknights where you need a little inspiration on what to cook for dinner.
I will be bringing you a few of my favorite Pasta recipes over the next few months but in the meantime I encourage you to visit PastaFits.org and Pasta Fits on Facebook for yourself and find a recipe that is perfect for you and your family.
