Ingredients

Fresh Pesto

  • 1 clove garlic
  • 12.5 g pine kernels
  • 50 g basil leaves
  • 6.25 cl olive oil extra virgin

Instructions

Fresh Pesto (you can make this in advance)

  • We'll be using a food processor to make the pesto. Put the garlic, pine kernels and some salt in there and process briefly.
  • Add the basil leaves (but keep some for the presentation) and blend to a green paste.
  • While processing, gradually add the olive oil and finally add the Parmesan cheese.

Finishing the dish

  • Bring a pot of salted water to the boil and cook your tagliatelle al dente.
  • Use the cooking time of the pasta to sauté your bacon strips.
  • After about 8 to 10 minutes, the pasta should be done. Drain it and put it back in the pot to mix it with the pesto.
  • Present the dish with some fresh basil leaves on top.

Cinnamon Sugar Chickpeas

Roasted Cinnamon-Sugar Chickpeas

yield: ABOUT 2 CUPS

Crunchy, sweet, healthy, vegan, gluten-free

Ingredients:

  • 1 (15-ounce) can chick peas (garbanzos)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons granulated sugar or packed light/dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400F degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment. Set aside.

In a large strainer, rinse and drain the chickpeas very well to remove the starch. Spread them out onto prepared baking sheet and pat very, very dry. The drier the chickpeas, the crunchier they will be. The skin of the bean may peel off as you pat them dry. That is ok. You may remove the skins or leave them on.

Once 100% dry, place chickpeas into the oven and roast for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, remove from the oven and drizzle with olive oil. Using a large spoon or spatula, mix the beans around to make sure they are all evenly coated. Mix the cinnamon and sugar together and sprinkle over beans. Mix around very well to heavily coat each bean.  Make sure each bean is thoroughly coated. Add more cinnamon-sugar if you’d like. Place back into the oven and roast for another 15 minutes.

Leaving the chickpeas inside, turn the oven off and crack open the door slightly. Allow the chickpeas to sit inside as the oven cools down for 30 minutes. This will help them get crunchier as opposed to sitting at room temperature.  Chickpeas are crunchiest on day 1. Store at room temperature.

Psyllium Bread

November 6, 2018


She calls it “the life changing loaf of bread” and if you are dealing with constipation, she’s right!  Psyllium husk contains soluble fiber that helps regulate the your bowel whether you are dealing with constipation or diarrhea. You can buy psyllium in bulk and add it to certain recipes.

Another great point is the fact that this will bring your cholesterol down by trapping the cholesterol in your digestive tract and preventing it from being re-absorbed into the blood.
