Quick Creamy Spinach and Tomato Pasta image

I invented this recipe at the end of the week when groceries were running low-just a few ingredients make up this easy pasta dish. This can be a healthier yet still flavorful meal by using low-fat sour cream and whole wheat pasta.

8 ounces angel hair pasta
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until tender. Drain.
