Recipe: Japanese style Pasta made with soy sauce, olive oil and garlic.

I have recently started to buy whole grain pasta after reading numerous nutrition blogs. Pasta is my to-go-dish; I often make it when I'm lazy to make anything else. So what do I do when I'm craving for something Japanese and some pasta? Make "Shoyu pasta"! It's so easy and most of all, you can just dump in any left over veggies or meats into it. This time, I put in 1/2 red onion, mushrooms and green onions. It's quick, easy and delicious. 

Ingredients
(Used about 300g of dried pasta)

Approximately 260kcal per serving, considering that 1 cup of cooked pasta is 1 serving

• 300g pasta
• (Optional) Vegetables of your choice
• (Optional) Meat of your choice
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 3 tbsp Japanese soy sauce
• Garlic (I put in about 1-2 tsp chopped garlic)
• Salt and pepper to taste

Steps

1. Start cooking the pasta.
2. In a separate pan, heat the garlic with olive oil. Then, throw in the vegetables/meat and heat until cooked. Add the soy sauce and let it heat. I also put in a couple tablespoons of the water from the boiling pasta to add to the sauce.
3. Once the pasta is done, throw it in the pan with the sauce and mix!
4. I usually sprinkle some cheese on top, mmm!
