Greens And Garlic Recipes

Swiss chard is a heart-healthy leafy green that everyone should include in their diet. This recipe is an excellent source of calcium, so you'll build bone with every bite.

Cheese is optional and not added here.

This flavorful dish requires a pot and a pan, and cooks up easily. Perfect way to use the fresh veggies of the summer. Feel free to use as a side dish or toss with cannelloni beans or cooked tofu to make a complete dish.

The dish is a brilliant pink.

Tasty, healthy side dish. Can easily be modified to suit any taste.

This is a recipe from Kalyn from KalynsKitchen.com. I doubled it, substituted mustard greens for kale & cut the oil a bit. Kalyn's site is the best for innovative South Beach Diet recipes: I tweaked this a bit for my taste and to batch cook/freeze it. You can use any kind of pasta you like, but SBDers should use Dreamfield's rotini, a cup of which yields 190 calories and a net 5 carbs (not figured in calculations) with 5 g fiber.
