However, I have not been able to get into the green juices that are all the rage these days, and prefer to stick to taking in my greens the good old fashion way: chewing them. Earlier this week, I had one of my cravings for greens, and had some time to spare, so I wandered through the gigantic grocery stores that exist in the south, playing on my Cooking Light app along the way, and ended up creating a pasta dish with plenty of greens and fresh herbs (grown by yours truly), and some prosciutto for that extra bang.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><b>Lean, Cream and Green Pasta\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Recipe inspired by Cooking Light, but invented by yours truly<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Makes 6 servings<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\">Nutrition: 387 calories; 9 grams fat; 54 grams carbs; 18 grams protein<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\"><i>Ingredients:<\/i><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\"><\/div>\n<ul>\n<li>12 ounces spinach\u00a0fettuccine<\/li>\n<li>1 bunch broccolini<\/li>\n<li>1 bunch fresh spinach<\/li>\n<li>4 green onion pencils<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary<\/li>\n<li>2 tablespoons minced garlic<\/li>\n<li>3\/4 cup fat free ricotta cheese<\/li>\n<li>4 tablespoons shredded pecorino-romano cheese<\/li>\n<li>Salt and Pepper<\/li>\n<li>4 ounces prosciutto (FYI: if you happen to have the person at the deli tell you &#8220;I&#8217;m bad at math and science&#8221; when you ask for 4 ounces, it&#8217;s easily converted to 0.25 pounds.
