Spaghetti Pie

Spaghetti Pie

Jul 14, 2005

A nice change from the traditional spaghetti and meat sauce, this pasta bakes into a pie shell, making the outside layer crispy. Canada's Food Guide to Healthy Eating recommends two to three servings of meat and alternatives each day. One serving of cooked meat is about 3 ounces (90 grams), on which we are basing the sauce, then we're bulking it up with vegetables. Canned tomato products have the highest amounts of lycopene, which can reduce the risk of certain cancers. Serve with Light Caesar Salad.

The tighter and more compact the artichoke, the fresher it is. To eat the cooked artichoke, pull off each leaf, dip it in butter and pull between your teeth to release the tender bottom bit, then discard the tough leaf. Once leaves are removed, cut up the base, or heart, which is known as the jewel in the crown.

Cannelloni with Fresh Tomato Sauce

Sep 28, 2009

Simple and straight forward, these light-tasting cannelloni celebrate the sweet dairy flavour of fresh ricotta cheese and intensely ripe harvest time tomatoes. We call for fresh lasagna noodle sheets instead of dried cannelloni for two reasons: they taste far better and they're much easier to stuff. Depending on the type and size of the fresh lasagna noodle sheets, and the consistency of the ricotta, this recipe can make 10 to 12 cannelloni.
