Quick healthy pasta dishes

Pasta can be used to whip together quick low fat main dishes.
Here are some tasty recipes;
Italian pasta;
Cooked whole grain pasta
Chopped fresh basil
Halved grape tomatoes
A few tbsp olive oil

Mexican pasta salad;
Cooked whole grain pasta
Black beans
Fresh, steamed corn off it's cob
Minced jalapenos
A dressing of olive oil, lime juice, and ground cumin.

Pasta with summer vegetables;
Cooked whole grain pasta
Diced red pepper
Zucchini
A few tbsp olive oil
2 chopped garlic cloves
Roasted pine nuts

Parmesan cheese can be added to all these pastas, though they're tasty enough without the extra fat from the cheese.
