Shrimp Bruschetta Pasta - Chicago News and Weather | FOX 32 News

Bruschetta is a delicious way to enjoy those summer fresh tomatoes! This pasta dish carries that favorite flavor right to the center of the plate and also takes advantage of fresh basil, which is a fragrant, delicious addition to the meal that does not require salt! The olive oil paired with the tomato in this cooked dish actually has the added bonus of additional nutrient absorption of fat soluble vitamins in the tomato, too. For a vibrant meal with taste and texture, pair this dish with a crisp green salad. The cool, crunchy greens will balance out the warmth and texture of pasta.
