Ever seen the movie Food Inc.? Rent it this weekend.
It will change how you eat and look at food.
(I'll warn you, it is a documentary so some parts are a little boring, but it is very interesting!!)
Here is a yummy pasta recipe I made for dinner tonight. (to make it even healthier use whole wheat noodles)
Lemon Pasta with Chicken
Ingredients:
- 1 pound dried bowtie pasta
- 2 chicken cutlets, cut into fingers
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
- 2 lemons, juiced (I used 1, because that's all I had. It still tasted good)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Directions
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, until al dente. Drain well.
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat a large grill pan over medium high and add chicken. Grill until golden and completely cooked. Remove to a plate and slice.
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to a saute pan with 3 tablespoons of olive oil and saute until fragrant. Add the cooked pasta and turn heat off. Mix all together.
Remove pasta to a large bowl. Add chicken to the warm pasta and season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle in chopped parsley. Add the juice of 2 lemons and mix. Before serving top with Parmesan.
Try it out! Very light and fresh.
I am in need of some new recipes!! Healthy or not. :) Send them my way!
I am thinking about doing a recipe exchange. Anyone else interested? Let me know! (even if I don't know you.)
