This Spaghetti with Fresh Tomato Pisto is light, fresh and delicious. It’s a great dinner for two idea when you don’t have a lot of time.
This really is a light pasta dish that can even be eaten on these summer days. Not to mention the fact that it is all done in 20 minutes. We love meals like that. Normally, when I make Spaghetti, it’s always with Marinara Sauce. Why? Because that’s the kids’ favourite. And us moms seem to always aim to please, right?
That being said, sometimes, it’s nice to cook just for the adults. This dinner I cooked in a hurry and it was just for my husband and myself. It was fast and it was delicious.
