Vegeterian Tips: Eat a dark green vegetable broccoli, spinach, kale, collard greens at least three times a week. These nutritional powerhouses are packed full of vitamins such as calcium and iron. On the run or hate spinach? Try drinking your greens. I recommend Naked Juice s Green Machine its made with fruit juice as well as greens, so it tastes better than others.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- Pasta of choice (Penne is my fav for this recipe)
- 2-3 cups sliced collard greens
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup pine nuts
- 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- oregano and/or bazil to taste
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
While pasta is cooking, sautee garlic and spices in oil.
Add pine nuts to garlic and oil sautee. Add more oil if
necessary. Chop collard greens. Place the greens in a
microwave safe dish and microwave for approximately 7
minutes or until cooked.
Toss all ingredients together and serve with a warm crusty
bread. Enjoy.
This is an especially satisfying recipe knowing that
collard greens are jammed packed with calcium!
Serves: 2-4
Preparation time: 20 minutes
