If you've been missing amazing pasta since you've gone low-carb, Dreamfields has the answer.
Here at Low Carb Luxury, we've been cooking up some of our favorite pasta dishes with Dreamfields,
and now we want to share them with you!

Penne Pasta with Fresh Herbs
This dish of fresh herbs is American cooking at its best. Dishes such as
this one originated in southern Italy, but are at home in the U.S., where
kitchen gardens are enjoying a popular revival. This bright pasta dish
is utter simplicity to make.
- 16 ounces Dreamfields™ Penne Pasta
(one box)
- Salt
- 4 peeled garlic cloves
- 2 cups fresh herb leaves
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
(about 1/2 cup)
- Freshly grated black pepper
Cook the pasta in a large quantity of rapidly boiling salted water until cooked
al dente; do not overcook. While the water is boiling, place the garlic cloves and
herb leaves on a cutting board, sprinkle with salt, and chop them with a knife until
uniformly minced.
Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium heat to warm. Just before the pasta finishes
cooking, dump the herb and garlic mixture into the skillet to warm through. Drain the
pasta well, then remove the herbs from the heat and add the pasta and the grated
cheese. Toss well, season to taste with pepper, and serve immediately.
