Omega-3, Penne w/ Spicy Tomato Sauce, Burn Fat Fast


Well I hope no one noticed I haven't posted the past few days, but for those that did notice I just want to say how sorry I am! I had a babysitting gig that forced me into a life of a mother of 2 teenagers, a pre-teen, an autistic boy, a baby, and 3 dogs. I have no better excuse than that. But I am making up for it by posting for those days. So you'll have 4 new posts to read all in a row, and I'm going to try my best to never do that again!
Tip of the Day: Omega-3

Womens Health talks about how cutting calories can often cause you to feel irritable and cranky. Finding out what your body needs calorie-wise, and making sure your meals are balanced will help with that. Another thing that will help is making sure you add omega-3 fatty acids to your diet. They're good fats that will help fight depression, and even help you feel fuller by slowing down your digestion. Some examples of omega-3 fatty acid foods are: olive oil, salmon, and flaxseeds.


Healthy Recipe: Penne w/ Spicy Tomato Sauce

350 calories a serving, and this makes 6 servings. Try this one out, you will not be sorry!
  • 1 pound(s) whole-wheat penne
  • 1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
  • 3 clove(s) garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon(s) crushed red pepper, or to taste
  • 1 can(s) ((28-ounce)) plum tomatoes, drained
  • 1/2 cup(s) freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1/4 cup(s) finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 8 to 10 minutes or according to package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over low heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper; cook, stirring, until the garlic is golden, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, crushing them roughly with the back of a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer over low heat and cook until slightly reduced, about 5 minutes.
  3. When the pasta is ready, drain and return to the pot. Stir in the sauce and place the pot over high heat. Stir until the mixture sizzles. Remove from heat. Add cheese and parsley; toss well. Taste and adjust seasonings; serve immediately.
