Pasta With Chickpeas, Tomatoes And Chard
8 oz dried penne or rotelle pasta
2 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
2 pinches red pepper flakes
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme
OR 1/2 tsp. dried
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
OR 1/2 tsp. dried
1/2 tsp paprika
1 pinch saffron threads, (optional)
15 oz canned chickpeas, drained
with 1/2 cup liquid reserved
28 oz canned tomatoes, drained, up to 32
(2 -14 to 16 oz. cans)
1 large Swiss chard, (1 1/4 lbs.)
stemmed and rinsed well
1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
6 SERVINGS LACTO
This satisfying casserole has it all--protein, carbohydrates, a leafy
green
vegetable and tons of robust flavor.
Bring large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta; stir to
prevent sticking. Cook pasta until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain
well and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350ø F. Lightly grease 2-quart casserole.
Meanwhile, in large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat.
Add onion, garlic, pepper, thyme, rosemary, paprika and saffron if
desired.
Cook, stirring often, until onion is tender, 8 minutes.
Add chickpeas, reserved liquid and tomatoes to onion mixture. Season with
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, breaking up
tomatoes with spoon. Reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring
occasionally,
15 minutes. If mixture becomes dry, add a little water to keep it moist.
Meanwhile, in large saucepan fitted with steamer basket, bring 2 inches
water to a boil over high heat. Add chard, cover and steam until bright
green and render, about 3 minutes. Remove chard and coarsely chop.
Transfer to large bowl and stir in 2 teaspoons oil and salt and pepper to
taste. Stir in pasta, chickpea mixture and Parmesan. Transfer pasta
mixture to prepared casserole. Drizzle with remaining 1 teaspoon oil and
season with pepper. Cover with foil and bake until hot, about 20 minutes.

Dieting made easy
If you enjoy your food, but need to get in shape and also improve your overall condition, then, without doubt, you should follow a carefully prepared wholesome meal plan. In theory, this must incorporate five measures of fruit/vegetables on a daily basis and also include the right mix of fat, carbs and proteins.
In deciding on a daily routine, you have to also try to cut down your consumption of salt, fats and refined carbohydrates.
At the start of a diet, people frequently focus on chain store and brand name foods referred to as 'low fat'. This is often a miscalculation, seeing that a food could be lowered in fats, but whilst still being high in calories.
Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Sometimes when going through a normal day, you think that you are hungry but in fact you may need a cool drink of water or juice. The sensations of hunger and thirst are nearly the same, albeit one of them leads to weight gain and one doesn't.
Rather than thinking about the many unhealthy foods you really should eliminate from your daily routine, direct your attention to the recommended foods that you might want to introduce to your meal plan. If you are able to introduce the recommended amount healthy fruit/vegetables into your daily routine, you'll soon see that you feel more satisfied and have a far decreased likelihood of giving in to those detrimental mid-morning munchies.
