FOLLOWING SUGGESTED ITEMS
SUGGESTED ACCOMPANIMENTS
A pot of pasta can be the basis of a creative and festive meal. Just serve an antipasto platter of fresh vegetables and cheeses or soy items along side. As an alternative to spaghetti, consider using frozen pasta, such as cheese- or vegetable-filled tortellini or ravioli.
Strategy While bringing a large pot of water to a boil and cooking the pasta, prepare a platter or two of antipasto and slice the bread. When the pasta is done, drain and return it to the pot. Add pasta sauce and diced tomatoes. Serve pasta on individual plates, pass the Parmesan cheese, the antipasto platters and bread.
