Spinach and ricotta cannelloni

Another tasty and healthy version of a traditional Italian pasta dish, ideal for a family Sunday afternoon. Spinach and ricotta cannelloni.

My wife is an expert in the preparation of delicious homemade cannelloni. Of course I couldn't help change her recipe to continue enjoying this dish but with a reduced calorie version.

Wonton and dip

As you have noticed, many of the healthy preparations that I propose in this blog are not usually known to be healthy by people, but this is not because they aren't, but because they often are associated with sodium canned ingredients, or with excess of chemicals or preservatives.

But these same preparations can easily be replaced or varied, increasing protein and reducing the amounts of saturated fat. So in this case, I will propose an extreme variation of a typical preparation both in America and in Latin America: Chips and dip, but with a substitute that makes up our dish. Wonton and dip.

Quesadillas

In this case I wanted to propose to you a different breakfast. An alternative to begin the day with more energy, with a Latin American style.

Or, if you prefer, you can prepare this recipe for lunch. It is a dish of Mexican origin, with some variations to make it easy and more healthy: Quesadillas.

Cheese stuffed gnocchi with scarparo sauce

This is definitely one of my favourite foods. I met the original recipe at the restaurant of the Italian Club in Pinamar (picture), Argentina, and then I created my own version. I'm talking about the Cheese stuffed gnocchi with scarparo sauce, an even more delicious version of the traditional gnocchi, increasing its taste and quality.

Vegetable lasagna by Primafila restaurant (Argentina)

There's a famous restaurant in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that prepares a delicious and healthy variation of the classic lasagna: A Vegetable lasagna with light tomato sauce.


If you ever come to Buenos Aires, the restaurant is named "Primafila" and it's located in Recoleta district. But if you don't, I want to post the recipe so you can taste it wherever you are.
