Bruschetta
Spaghetti Salad
modified
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)

Bruschetta
Spaghetti Salad (cont.)

- 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

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.
