Nothing says comfort food like a heaping bowl of buttery fusilli, but the lack of nutrients in the carb-loaded dish could leave you feeling a little uncomfortable. Add the essentials with protein-packed chicken and sun-kissed slices of intense flavor and nutrition—sun-dried tomatoes. Toss in fresh basil for a nutritious pasta dish full of flavor.
