The Natural Pregnancy Diary : Garlic & Herb Vegetable Spelt Spaghetti

The Natural Pregnancy Diary : Garlic & Herb Vegetable Spelt Spaghetti

I was grocery shopping at Whole Foods yesterday when I came across organic spelt spaghetti. Like quinoa , spelt is an ancient grain that is very high in fiber and protein. My doula has recommended I stay away from wheat and white flour products during my pregnancy so spelt is the healthy alternative.

Ingredients:

• Nature's Legacy Organic Spelt Spagetti
• Spincach
• Scallions
• Mushrooms
• Asparagus
• Cherry tomatoes
• KerryGold Garlic & Herb Butter
• Heavy Whipping cream ( optional, not pictured)

First, set your boiling water for the pasta . I usually add virgin olive oil and salt to mine to give the pasta some taste . I don't add the pasta until the water begins to boil because spelt pasta takes about 6-8 minutes to cook. Chop and dice the vegetables to your liking .

Next , in a median sauce pan heat the KerryGold Garlic & Herb butter and add the chopped scallions . Sauté for about 2 mins in medium heat then add spinach and asparagus until tender. Add the mushrooms , asparagus & cherry tomatoes last. Simmer until all vegetables are tender .

I added heavy whipping cream for texture . ( Not the best pic, but delicious lol)

Drain your spaghetti and add vegetable mix . Enjoy !
