cW Recipes: Green Garden Garlic Pasta
GARLIC PASTA
In her latest cW Recipe, blogger Lindsay Yarrow shares a deliciously quick pasta packed with cancer-fighting foods.

I am a real pasta girl, and any quick and delicious pasta recipe I can put together is really my perfect meal. I love making this Green Garden Garlic Pasta at least once a week because it is full of protein from the chickpea or lentil noodles, as well as cancer-fighting nutrients from the vegetables, garlic, and turmeric.

What is truly great about this recipe is how highly adaptable it is. You can switch up the vegetables and add what you’re craving that week or what you have left in the fridge. I enjoy making mine extra spicy with garlic for antibacterial purposes. And of course, the more greens the better!
