modified from a recipe on the back of a box of Prince Healthy Harvest™ Whole Wheat Pasta Blend — Thin Spaghetti

1 box Prince Health Harvest™ Thin Spaghetti (or can also use any other brand of high fiber pasta)
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 Tbsp minced fresh garlic (mince 10 minutes prior to heating to maintain garlic's anti-cancer activity)
2-3 Tbsp. basalmic vinegar
3 cups fresh tomatoes, diced (include the seeds and the yellow goo that surrounds them, which are power-packed with anti-cancer molecules!)
1- 16 oz. can cannelloni beans (rinse and drain)
~16 small black olives (I like the Niçoise olives from the south of France - remember that they have the pits still in them)
1/4 cup minced mixture of fresh basil, oregano, parsley or more to taste
2 Tbsp. Asiago cheese
8 cups fresh greens (mixture of salad greens and spinach, beet greens, chard, kale or whatever is available)

Directions:

Cook spaghetti according to directions on box, drain
Wash fresh greens, spin or pat dry, tear or cut into bite size pieces
Heat olive oil in large frying pan over medium heat, sauté garlic a few minutes (do not brown), add tomatoes and beans and herbs. Heat until all is warm - just a few minutes.
Toss the spaghetti, vinegar, and tomato-herb mixture in large salad bowl.
On 4 individual large plates first layer the greens, then the spaghetti mixture, garnish each plate with 4-5 olives and a sprinkle of the Asiago cheese.

Serves 4 generously. Serve warm with a hearty whole grain crusty bread (to wipe up all the yummy sauce) and some fresh seasonal fruit for a complete meal. Also can be made early in the day, chilled, and then served cold on a hot summer evening.

In my book, I have included the names of several dozen cookbooks which feature recipes that are compatible with (or that can be modified to fit) the ultra-healthy diet I follow, including some resources which are free.

I am also collecting recipes to include in a future edition of my book as well as to be featured on "Menus and Recipes". I have asked readers to send me any recipes that they have found to be great-tasting and easy to prepare, and that emphasize the nutritional guidelines which are outlined in my book. I will also consider taking people's favorite "normal" recipes and posting versions which are modified for maximal cancer prevention.

If you have a recipe you wish to submit for possible inclusion in either my book or on this web page, please send it to me. If the recipe is from a cookbook or other printed source, please include the name, author, and publisher of the source so that I can ask for permission to reprint the recipe. If it is a recipe you created, or a family favorite, please indicate that, also.
