GF Pasta Puttanesca with Lulu Wilson Inspired Kale Salad

This gluten free pasta and zucchini noodle dish really has it going on in the flavor department. Savory and sweet, spicy and bold, pasta puttanesca packs a punch that will make your taste buds salivate with each delicious bite. We have paired it with our version of an Aspen local’s favorite…..LuLu Wilson Kale Salad, served on the side topped with currants and pine nuts.

For a warm dish - reheat the pasta gently in large saucepan, frying pan, or wok, stirring occasionally, until piping hot. Or - we are loving the kale salad and the pasta mixed together, and served at room temperature.

Szechuan Carrot Soup

This Szechuan Carrot Ginger Soup will warm you from the inside out. Seasoned with ginger, hot pepper flakes and sesame oil and made creamy with nuts, this soup is soul-warming, nourishing and delicious. We love the healing benefits of carrots, mainly the antioxidant-rich carotenoids that are known to pack anticancer powers.

Prep tip: This soup may thicken in fridge - add water to desired consistency - salt, pepper and spice to taste. Garnish with curried almonds and coconut.

Golden Glow Hummus

This delicious "detox dip" gets its golden hue from digestion-promoting fresh ginger, a pinch of metabolism-boosting cayenne pepper, and a generous sprinkle of ground turmeric – the ultimate healthy spice. Pairs very well with our Savory Thai Noodles this week. We love it as a simple light + bright dip for our veggie crudités!
