Moms know kids love pasta. And this can be used for good purposes. First, you can feed them healthier pasta than wheat pasta. Such, for example, as in my photo: pasta with spirulina, quinoa, spelled, millet, corn pasta with spinach, tomato and carrot. And secondly, you can experiment with sauces and thus add more plants, and in particular vegetables, to a child’s (and even an adult’s) diet.
Since we do not eat cheese (only goat or sheep in case of emergency, why, you can understand from Dr. Hyman’s video about the dangers of milk), then I come up with vegetable sauces. As you know, classic pesto means parmesan. I just excluded it from the ingredients and I must say that completely did not regret – the pasta with my 100% vegetable pesto turned out sooooooo delicious! Below is the recipe:
Ingredients: A large handful of raw pine nuts, a bunch of basil, a clove of garlic (if cooking for adults, you can use two cloves), half a lemon, 7 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil, sea salt.
Amadekarî:
Heat the nuts in a hot skillet for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until golden brown (as shown).
Put nuts, basil, garlic, salt, olive oil in a blender and blend until smooth. Add the juice of half a lemon. Cook the pasta (cooking time depends on the type and is indicated on the package) and mix with the sauce.
Fast, tasty and healthy!
