from a recipe on 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)
- 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.
