Spaghetti with kale, green peas and pancetta

February 7, 2020 By travellingoven 8 Comments

Can you guess what is the most popular blog post on Travelling oven so far? Well, pasta of course! More specifically the one for Tagliatelle pasta with black truffle sauce that is also probably the most simple recipe I have on the blog. Conclusion is that people like pasta and simple recipes so it was about time after 3 years to put another pasta recipe on the blog lol! 🙂 This time it’s Spaghetti with kale, green peas and pancetta, a dish that I love and make often when craving pasta, sometimes I use wholewheat and other times spelt spaghetti so that depends what you prefer of course.

I don’t know about you but I really love kale and eat it often. Sometimes when I don’t feel inspired or I’m too tired to cook something more complicated, I just roast some sweet potatoes with a bit of rosemary or as other option boil some regular potatoes and make a salad with fresh kale & potatoes, seasoned with lots of olive oil and sea salt. Simple, delicious and healthy meals like that are just the best!

Kale is incredibly healthy and here are just some of the basic facts about this amazing vegetable:

  • kale is very high in nutrients
  • it’s loaded with powerful antioxidants (so are all leafy greens and that’s why is good idea to include them in our diet as much as possible!)
  • it’s extremely high in vitamin C
  • kale is one of the best sources of vitamin K
  • it’s very high in beta-carotene, the carotenoid that the body converts into vitamin A as it needs it
  • it’s rich in fibre making it great for our digestion system
  • it’s high in calcium

These are just some major health benefits of kale and I hope I reminded you to eat your leafy greens! 🙂 Here is a link to another great idea how to include amazingly healthy leafy greens in your meals, I suggest these savoury swiss chard or spinach muffins, so simple, so good…

In this recipe to my beloved kale I added also some green peas, pancetta and Parmesan and I just love that combination, hope you will too. Let me know if you try it out! It’s been so long since I posted a savoury type of recipe here and I think I will do it more often from now on. Also, I would love to hear from you what kind of content you enjoy the most. I do have some ideas what I want to add to the types of posts I usually do here and I hope it will work out well and hopefully many of you will find it helpful and interesting. More about all that soon… 🙂

    Just made this with all the produce from my garden! I grew the spaghetti squash from seeds I saved from a store bought squash last year. Used a combination of Swiss chard, lacinato kale and arugula, added a small onion with the garlic. Added some tiny tomatoes before the mozzarella. Soooo good!

Hi! I’m Lili and I’m so happy
to welcome you on my blog!

First things first. Why Travelling oven you’re wondering? Well, when this blog was created I had been living as an expat for about 8 years in beautiful countries like Scotland, Kazakhstan, Switzerland, Turkey...READ MORE...

If there is one thing I learned, it's that we alwa If there is one thing I learned, it's that we always need to listen to our heart, our body and our intuition. There we will find the path to follow... I had to learn the hard way how it feels to lose myself and my voice, there was a time in my life when I was silenced and not treated with respect I deserve. All I can say is: never again!! This photo was taken when I found my strength, my voice, my way, my joy for life and promised myself to never lose it again. Happy Women's Day! ❤️

That Lemon ricotta cake where instead of ricotta I That Lemon ricotta cake where instead of ricotta I used fresh cottage cheese from farmers’ market and these lovely organic lemons that I got in the package from my parents. If you like lemon desserts with just the right amount of sourness and sweetness, I think you’ll like this one! 😃 I posted it on the blog today and I’ll put direct link in my stories or you can always find links to my blog, portfolio and other stuff in my profile. Have a lovely weekend everyone! 🤗💛

Also good creamy scrambled eggs. Why I never eat that for breakfast at home!? 🤔

Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so Lately my body is craving all things refreshing so every day I've been drinking lemonade made with organic lemons from my parents' garden and sweetened with honey. What is your favourite citrus fruit? I love the smell of lime and taste of mandarines, specially if they are not too sweet. But all citrus fruit is just great! 😊✨
