Wholegrain Pasta Stuffed Cucumbers With Asian Sauce
"I am always inspired on the internet by what I see, hear and read, TRUE!
This makes for a VERY healthy tasty appetizer that is GREAT for entertaining too!
NOTE: Amounts listed are approximate; adjust the recipe to suit how many or how few you would like to make too!
I used and recommend Barilla Wholegrain pasta; has 3 times more fiber of regular pasta, healthy and tastes GREAT!
I use tamari to reduce the salt content; a lot healthier too"
