Light and Easy Italian

I love love love Italian Food. I love the fresh flavors, blends and creams. However some Italian dishes end up being super heavy. This is one of my favorite Italian recipes because its easy, fresh and light.

Lemon Chicken:

Saute the chicken with some salt and pepper in Pam on the stove top.. I like to saute the chicken right before I'm ready to serve if you cant then saute earlier and keep in the frying pan to reheat. Just prior to serving reheat and when the chicken is very hot, I squeeze half a lemon on the cutlet and serve immediately. The key is to serve immediately and only squeeze the lemon when chicken is hot. This chicken is very light and delicious. This is a great gluten free and very dietetic version of lemon chicken. You will not be able to tell it is dietetic....

Light Pasta with tomatoes and onions

Cut up tomatoes, fresh garlic and purple onions and sprinkle some salt, pepper, garlic powder and olive oil on it. Let it sit a few hours to soften up..
Cook up your pasta ( i usually use a small noodle such as elbows), rinse and drain with hot water. Then while the pasta is hot add the vegetables and mix well. Serve right away.... The nice thing about this recipe is that there is no need to saute...

Enjoy!!!
