We've compiled this snapshot of delicious, flavorful and nutritious pasta dishes. Bonus: they can all be prepared in 20 minutes or less.

Rigatoni with Olives, Eggplant, Tomato and Basil
Balancing Act

Serve up everything a body needs (protein, complex carbs, and veggies) with this all-in-one dish—and you'll have it on the table in under 20 minutes..
Whole Grain Thin Spaghetti with Cherry Tomatoes & Fresh Sweet Peppers
Healthy, Happy and Home
It can be so tempting to run to the corner fast food restaurant down the road. But, in the time it takes to input orders into your smartphone notes (no pickles, extra mayo, do they have tacos?), wait in line at the drive-thru, then open each wrapper to make sure everyone gets the right order, you can prepare this simple, healthy meal. And enjoy a glass of wine while you're at it.
Crispy Prosciutto & Feta Penne
Just You and I
Sometimes cooking for two seems more difficult than feeding the entire extended family on Thanksgiving Day. Most recipes today serve four or six. Who wants all those leftovers?
With pasta, just because you open the package doesn’t mean you have to cook the entire box. And no matter how much you throw in the water, it still takes the same short amount of time to cook.
