Alice's comment - PersonalCooker
Why try this dish? On the one hand we have the preciousness of the omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids provided by walnuts, on the other we also have the antioxidant virtues provided by the lemon. Do not forget the fiber contained in wholemeal pasta, also important for increasing the feeling of satiety And then, this first course deserves praise for its flavor: seeing is believing.Nutritional values and Health Comment on the recipe
PLEASE NOTE: the nutritional values shown on the side refer to 100 grams of COOKED food.
Wholemeal Spaghetti with Cream, Lemon and Walnuts are a first course without ingredients of animal origin, therefore cholesterol; saturated fats are also moderate. All these characteristics make it a generally suitable pasta for the diet of vegetarians, vegans and hypercholesterolemics (also due to the high quantity of polyunsaturated and essential fatty acids). Obviously, given the high caloric power of the preparation, moderate portions of about 150 g per COOKED (435kcal) are recommended.
