pasta

You sit at a restaurant in the garden with a glass of wine in your hand. Local music plays in the background. There is a delicious plate of Italian pasta for you. You take a bite and you enjoy intense … until you open your eyes and notice that you are sitting at your table at home. With this recipe from Nutritious & Fast we take a trip to Italy.

Everyone knows Popaye, that boy who always ate spinach and was therefore super strong. Unfortunately we do not get large muscle balls from spinach, but it is very nutritious. Spinach is full of vitamin K, which is good for your bone build up. Spinach also provides a better immune system.
