Free Healthy Recipe - Spaghetti with Caramelised Onion, Sage and Preserved Lemon and Goat’s Cheese

Low GI

The flavours through this pasta are delicious. In macrobiotic cooking it's important to create a meal that incorporates sweet (caramelised onion), salty and sour (preserved lemon) and bitter (salad greens). While macrobiotic chefs wouldn't use goat's cheese, the effect after eating this meal is the same. - you don't need a sweet treat to feel complete.

Ingredients

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

3 large brown onions, sliced thinly

½ cup sage leaves

1 tbsp preserved lemons, cut into fine strips

500 grams wholemeal spaghetti

120 grams soft goat's cheese

cracked black pepper

Method

Heat the olive oil in a large pan and add the onions and sage and preserved lemon. Cook on a medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes until the onions are brown, thick and sticky.

While the onions are cooking heat a large pan of water salted with sea salt and a little olive oil added. Cook the pasta for 15 minutes or until al dente.
Drain the pasta leaving a small amount of the cooking water in it.
Toss the caramelised onion through the pasta and top with goat's cheese and some fresh sage leaves. Season with cracked black pepper.

Serve with a dark green leaf salad.

Note: Onions contain sulphide compounds and other natural chemicals which can help to lower high blood sugar levels to a similar extent as prescription drugs used to treat type 2 diabetes.
