Green beans and pesto, for a first course that helps the line and deceives the desire for carbohydrates
When preparing a pasta with vegetables, to be careful of the line, you try to increase the dose of vegetables so much that the pasta becomes almost a side dish: why not eliminate it entirely? Nothing against carbohydrates, but after the party banquets, in an attempt to stay fit, limiting oneself helps to compensate for the tears in the rule. One of the clever dishes that come in handy is this fake pasta with pesto, fake because there is no pasta!
Blanch, and season
It is prepared quickly thanks to an envelope of frozen green beans – which certainly are not fresh like those of spring, but they help. And then they have the shape of ziti or pens, and they let themselves be chewed, increasing the sense of satiety.
You bleach them in salted water for a few minutes, then drain them when they are still crunchy and season them with basil pesto, Pesto Walnuts, butter and cheese – a knob of butter has never hurt anyone and fats are useful, even when dieting.
The result is a dish that tastes like a traditional recipe, but is much lighter.
And to compensate for the extravagances, it helps.
