Here’s another recipe from Engine 2. Take a trip to Tuscany - in no time at all! This throw-it-together dinner is a great go-to meal for those nights when you want something comforting, nourishing and quick. Protein-rich white beans, whole-grain pasta and superfood kale make up the tasty basics here. With garlic and a dash of salt and pepper, the simple flavors of this dish can really shine! Makes 1 medium serving.
Ingredients:
·         1 cup whole wheat or gluten free pasta
·         A little purified water for ‘frying’
·         1/8 onion, chopped
·         1 garlic clove, minced or finely chopped
·         ½ can cannellini beans (white kidney beans)
·         1 tsp. Italian seasoning blend
·         1 tomato, diced
·         2 cups kale, chopped
·         Optional: olive oil to taste (Don’t cook with it just add a tsp. for flavour at the end.)
·         Sea salt and pepper to taste
 
Method:
1.    Cook the pasta according to the directions on the box.
2.    In a medium pot, add water and heat to medium low.
3.    Add onions and cook for 8 minutes until translucent.
4.    Add garlic and cook for another minute.
5.    Add beans, Italian seasoning, tomato and simmer for 5 minutes.
6.    Add kale and simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
7.    Plate the pasta and top with the bean mixture.
8.    Add sea salt, pepper and a dash of tasty olive oil as desired.
 
Note: heating oils and exposing them to air and sunlight changes the molecular structure which can turn a healthy oil into an unhealthy oil. So, if you are going to use oils, store in dark glass bottles and add after cooking for flavour.
