What can you put olive oil on?

I just joined weight watchers, and oil is necessary everyday. About 2 tsp. I never really cook, because I don't know how. I just bought some turkey burgers and whole wheat pasta which I don't even know how to cook, but I figured I would teach myself. What is something simple I can put the oil in, in order to fit this into my diet?What can you put olive oil on?
one of the best dressing you can use is olive oil and fresh lemon juice (just throw a lemon in the microwave for 10 seconds) cut it in half and press the juice out, this goes great on salads and any other vegetable's you like. you could even toss it with some whole wheat pasta and fresh basil.What can you put olive oil on?

Easy Olive Oil, Tomato, and Basil Pasta





This is a great pasta that can be eaten at room temperature or as a cold salad. Instant, sophisticated meal or side dish! And colorful, too. Any type of twisty or unusually shaped pasta works well.





INGREDIENTS


1 (16 ounce) package farfalle pasta


2 roma (plum) tomatoes, seeded and diced


1/2 cup olive oil


2 cloves garlic, minced


1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips


salt and pepper to taste





DIRECTIONS


Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.


In a large bowl, gently toss the cooked pasta, tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, and basil. Season with salt and pepper
you can make a good pasta sauce with olive oil, you can also put olive oil on bread it tastes good you can toast the bread if you prefer before i dont know if that falls into your diet, you can also fry some veggies in olive oil and eat it with rice.
Watch Rachael Ray on TV, she uses it in everything. I think she takes a bath in EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)-I'd pay good money too see that one!
salads, pasta
Make a pasta sauce. Put the oil in a pan and fry an onion, a crushed garlic clove till soft. Add a tin of good quality tomatoes (no added sugar), some dried mixed herbs, a dash of red wine and a table spoon of tomato paste. Cook for at least 1/2 hour simmering not boiling too hard. Add fresh chopped basil if you have it.





You can make a huge pot of this by multiplying the above ingredients by 4 or more then you could freeze it and save cooking another time. Eat with your wholwheat pasta (instructions on how long to boil should be on the packet!) and a green salad.
Salads are best.
Put both tsp on the pasta along with whatever else you are using to flavor it. You can put it on your salad. You can put it on toast.





I have a bigger problem doing without it :-)
dont put oil its to fattening boil it in water
Slice a tomatoe, slice about 1-2 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, layer these slices with fresh basil leaves, then drizzle extra virgin olive oil over it and sprinkle grey sea salt over, very yummy and healthy.
some fresh spinach leafs
Mix it in with your whole wheat pasta with some fresh choppped garlic and some fresh herbs (basil or italian parsley would be good)....Who needs a heavy red sauce(which usually contains alot of sugar)?!?
you can take the oil and add italian seasonings and use this as a dip for french bread, or pour it over a salad. you can fry veggies in the oil too.
different kinds of salads. go to foodnetwork.com and you'll finad alot of things
i actually use it instead of vegtable oil..I use it on everything I would in place of the veg oil that I used to use.
What kind of veggies do you like? I especially like to saute onions and zuchinni in some olive oil, as well as cabbage. Any veggie that you like a bit cooked, just saute it in a bit of oil. Pour it over bread. Did you get Ronzoni pasta? I really like their wheat pasta. You can also pour the oil over potatoes instead of adding a bit of butter.
If you like asparagus (I do). I drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar over the top and add some fresh ground pepper and a little garlic salt.

Oil on pasta is very easy. Oil and vinegar is great for dipping bread.
