Very Healthy Spaghetti

Spaghetti with Paprika Sauce

 
You know, I don’t know much about healthy food, or healthy eating habit. Each time I thought this food is healthy, it turned out to be one with carsinogenic agent inside. Other time I thought this kind of eating habit is healthy, turned out it didn’t suit my tummy behaviour, causing me feeling sick all day. And so on, and so on.
 
But lately, actually since Santap Magazine stopped its publishing, I turned to its older sister, Nirmala Magazine. I think it’s just because I wanna keep seeing nice food photographs. Because I don’t think any other culinary magazines in Indonesia can beat the stunning yet elegant food photos made by Santap. Since Nirmala is practically the big sister who actually gave birth to Santap, it exercises the same manner of photography. So, yes, I just wanted to see good food photos :)
 
But then, they started to intoxicate me with this concept of eating, a cult, who practices natural and healthy eating and cooking. Before I knew it, I’ve been following its guidance. So far, I’m happy :)
 
Making this spaghetti was not as simple as I thought it would be. The paprika needed to be grilled first, peeled, chopped. Everything needed to be chopped first, or boiled or cut. But in the end, it’s worth all the slavery. It’s full of fibre (wholewheat spaghetti, yay!), low fat, low cholesterol, all natural (almost, if you use canned red beans). You can eat and eat until you cannot eat anymore, still you won’t be fat. Isn’t it like utopia?
