Hey there and Happy Thursday! Pasta is always an easy meal to throw together on a busy weeknight. BUT... I often find myself reaching for the same old recipes over and over again. It's time to shake things up with some new flavors to keep your meals interesting! Below is a list of some of my healthy pasta recipes. There's a good mixture of meat and meatless recipes in this list to suit everyone's dietary needs. #2 These Pesto Turkey Stuffed Shells are lightened up with one of my favorite baked pasta tricks. They were an immediate hit with my whole family! #3 One of the best pasta dishes I've eaten in a long time! This Roasted Cauliflower Pasta is flavored with caramelized onions, spinach and hazelnuts. Plus, it uses mostly pantry staples, making it a great last-minute meal. #4 This Smoked Salmon Linguini is light with a touch of creaminess from the leek and white wine sauce. Fresh dill and Parmesan cheese finish it off. #5 This Israeli Couscous with Sausage & Feta is inspired by my family's favorite white wine pasta. Israeli (or pearl) couscous has a wonderful chewy texture. #6 Every home cook needs a go-to healthy pasta recipe, with a great homemade tomato sauce. This Skillet Chicken Penne Pasta takes just 30 minutes, from stovetop to table. #7 This Healthy Turkey Pesto Lasagna is lightened up with ground turkey, basil pesto and sautéed bell peppers.

The pesto/cottage cheese combo is so delicious I would even use it as a substitute for a creamy pasta sauce!" #8 Baked Ziti with Sausage and Peppers is fantastic for feeding a crowd! Make-ahead and freezer directions are included, which makes entertaining or weeknight cooking even easier. #9 Get your greens in with this delicious Arugula Pasta Salad with Roasted Tomatoes!
