Braciolette Ripiene with Lemon Orzo and Roasted Tomatoes and wardrobe provided by Parc Boutique
It is so rewarding to cook food that tastes great is and good for you as well. That doesn’t mean never using butter or never having any fun. It does means using high quality and healthful ingredients (local and organic if you can, kids), good recipes, and exercising portion control. Some restaurants serve portions of pasta for one (here in America) that would be a platter for entire family in Italy. That’s just another little gift our culture has given us that we really need to abandon. Also, vegetables! We don’t eat enough of them. I love roasting them in olive oil (works with just about any vegetable) salt, pepper, and maybe minced garlic. So good for you and honestly, people that don’t eat broccoli and brussels sprouts even like them cooked this way.
My Braciolette Ripiene (stuffed chicken breasts) has a tasty spinach stuffing that is highlighted with roasted red peppers and topped with pignoli (pine nuts) that are high in monounsaturated fat. I’m serving it with an orzo that is seasoned simply with salt, lemon zest, and parmesan cheese. Roasted tomatoes complete the dish with their tangy and sweet richness.
Perfecto!
Buon Appetito!
