How many times have we asked the same question: What do I cook now? The vast list of recipes and weekly menus become repetitions and unoriginal. To help break the routine I present two new recipes, rich, easy to prepare and healthy.

Spaghetti with Broccoli, Pecans and Ricotta, and Chicken salad with pecans. Write down and enjoy!

Spaghetti with Broccoli, Pecans and Ricotta

  • 2/3 cups of chopped pecans
  • 1 head of broccoli
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced

  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • 200 gr. of ricotta cheese

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread pecans on waxed paper and bake for about 8 minutes, stirring the paper occasionally, until they become more golden.
  2. Chop the broccoli and cut separating the stems of the bouquets. Heat oil in a wok, add the broccoli stalks and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often, then add the broccoli florets and cook for another 5 minutes until smooth.
  3. Add garlic, parsley, lemon zest and pecans and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. Reduce heat to medium and place the ricotta and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
  4. To cook the pasta, follow the instructions in the package. Drain well water and return pasta to the wok to keep it warm with sauce. Mix gently and serve immediately.

    Nice recipes they really look delicious and healthy, that is the most important thing. Pecans are delicious but actually I never use them is salty food, I think it?s time to experiment a little and try new and exotic recipes like these ones. Thanks for the article.

    One of hte best rules of thumb that I live by when cooking is that I cook fresh, recently harvested produce from my garden. This keeps my family healthy and strong, and I know that we are getting all the nutrition we need, with none of the chemicals of commercially harvested produce. This is the best.
