Families are always on the go in today's fast, digital world and because of this, parents are finding themselves in the position of feeding their family with fast food and pre-made meals. Many don't realize that healthy, nutritious, quick meals can be made in as little as fifteen minutes.

Spaghetti with a cold pomodora sauce can be enjoyed by even the pickiest member of a family and is a meal that involves simply chopping a few vegetables and a microwave.

INGREDIENTS
1 box of your family's favorite pasta
2 ripe tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 onion

In a microwavable bowl, add water and your favorite pasta. Microwave on high for 10-12 minutes, ultimately depending on the instructions on the box.

To keep your sauce from becoming too runny, I suggest seeding the tomatoes before cutting. While your pasta is cooking, you can chop your tomatoes, garlic and onion into small pieces and mix in a bowl. Add in the olive oil and mix well to ensure all of the vegetables are completely coated. Once the pasta is done cooking and has been thoroughly drained, top with the pomodora sauce and enjoy!
