Another day, another Pasta🙌🏼. Today I decided to make a Peruvian style pesto sauce aka 🇵🇪 (btw my mom was born in Perú so we always make fun dishes from there)😁. I think this sauce is PASTAbly the best twist to a pesto sauce. Keep reading to find out how I made this delicious creamy pasta sauce! ⬇️ ⁣⁣⁣⁣

dEATs👇🏼:⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
Green sauce:⁣
✩1 whole bag of baby spinach⁣
✩3 cups of basil⁣
✩1 onion⁣
✩2 garlic cloves⁣
✩1/2 cup of evaporated milk (I used regular milk but evaporated is what’s recommended)⁣
✩1/4 cup of olive oil⁣
✩1/4 cup of walnut toasted ⁣
✩150g of queso fresco (feta crumbles also works but queso fresco is better)⁣⁣⁣⁣
First sauté the onions a bit and add the garlic after so it doesn’t burn. Once they’re caramelizad put all the ingredients in the blender (including the onions and garlic) and mix well in a food processor —> texture should be creamy. Now add salt and ground pepper to taste🙌🏼🥦⁣ Ps I mixed half of regular pasta and half gnocchi. .⁣⁣⁣
What’s your favourite pasta sauce?!🌟💛⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

POWER OATMEAL BOWL💪🏼💥
Starting my Tuesday like a pro👩🏽‍🍳, seriously just look at this power oatmeal bowl⚡️!!

Oatmeal is one my fave go-to breakfasts. Besides being super filling, easy and simple to make, its filled with a ton of health benefits. Oats are filled with fibre and antioxidants that can help lower cholesterol and improve ones blood sugar. •

Ingredients:
1/2 cup oats
3/4 cup hot water
3/4 cup almond milk
1/2 ripe banana, mashed
1/2 tsp vanilla powder (I use )
pinch of himalayan salt
~~~
Start by putting your oats to a small pan and covering them with hot water. Leave for 10 minutes to soak. Add the rest of the ingredients, combine well, turn on the heat and bring to a boil. Let simmer for about 5 minutes (or until desired consistency), stirring frequently. Add toppings and Enjoy 🍌🍫🍇

No better way to enjoy my Wednesday lunch than with some SPAGHETTI SQUASH ! 🍝 Honestly if you guys haven’t realized, I am addicted to pasta and could eat it everyday however because pasta can be high on carbohydrates, I always try to find healthy alternatives for it - just like my recent post of the pasta that was made from only 2 ingredients! Today I decided to give Spaghetti squash a try!
•
Squash is filled with Vitamin C, Vitamin E, fibre, potassium and protein. It also helps with digestion, blood pressure, skin and hair💁🏽‍♀️💇🏽‍♀️
•
•
Ingredients:
1 squash, 2 teaspoons of extra virgin olive oil, salt and pepper, and other vegetables of your choice. 🙌🏼
•
•
•
Instructions:
1️⃣Preheat oven to 400 F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper
2️⃣Cut the tip and the bottom of the squash. Stand the squash upright on the table and slice through it from the top to the bottom - dividing it in half
3️⃣With spoon scoop out the seeds
4️⃣Drizzle olive oil and rub it all over inside
5️⃣Sprinkle salt and pepper
6️⃣Place both halves on the sheet cut-side down
7️⃣Bake for 40 to 60 minutes until the cut sides are golden and the interiors can be easily pierced through with a fork (*small squashes will bake quicker)
8️⃣Once squash is done, fluff the interiors with a fork to make the insides spaghetti-like.
9️⃣This one has tomato sauce to mine and some stir fried veggies, you can spice and serve yours as you’d like!

What Friday’s should look like🍕🍕🍕

I was craving pizza so I decided to make my favourite homemade whole-wheat dough (MSG for instructions on how to make it). Sprinkled some mozzarella cheese and goat cheese on top and added a big variety of veggies 🥦🌶🍠🍆🌽🍅🥒 to spice it up. This pizza was so filling and it was super delicious as well! 👋🏼 I find that whenever your craving something that isn’t the healthiest choice, making it yourself is a great option because you can decide how much of each thing to add rather than buying it already made - in my case I made the dough low in oil and added as many veggies as I wanted! 🤗

Today I was rushing to get to class ⏰ so I made a salad quickly throwing everything I could find // spinach, lettuce, mixed greens, sprouts, avocado DUH, sliced almonds, farmers cheese (healthy alternative), cherry tomatoes and sun dried tomatoes // 🤩🤩 I made a honey mustard balsamic vinegar, DM for recipe! // -workout
