Healthy Recipe Ideas
Hearty Vegetable Arrabiata Pasta
Boil 70g of penne as per instructions. In a pan, sauté garlic, onions, and assorted vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, and carrots in 1 tsp olive oil. Add pureed tomatoes, oregano, and a pinch of chili flakes, then simmer to create a sauce. Toss the cooked pasta in the sauce and serve hot.
Health Benefits
A balanced meal rich in fiber and vitamins from a variety of vegetables, paired with protein-rich pasta.
Healthy Creamy Mushroom and Spinach Penne
Cook the pasta and set aside. In a pan, sauté minced garlic and mushrooms until soft. Add blanched spinach and stir for a minute. Mix in 2-3 tablespoons of Greek yogurt or a light cashew cream for a healthier sauce. Season with black pepper and a pinch of nutmeg, then combine with the pasta.
