Creamy Butterfly Pasta with Endive
 |
As I mentioned in our last post, we’re working on getting more veggies into our bellies around the bell’alimento house. Leaning towards more balanced meals throughout the week. No need to worry and click away, we’re not getting rid of carbs or sweets. Not at all (did I hear a sigh of relief). I had a slight panic attack just thinking of that. We’re just going to be eating them in moderation. It’s a win win. I still get my carbs and chocolate and nobody gets hurt.
Like today’s pasta dish. It’s a creamy butterfly (farfalle) pasta with endives, onions and prosciutto. Now that doesn’t sound like health food does it! Not at all. To balance it out, we have a nice spinach salad to go with and go heavy on the endive in the pasta. And a few glasses of water to wash it all down.
I’m saving the wine for the weekend ; )
Baci!

Yum….! I love how you call it “butterfly” pasta
and since we, too, are trying to get more veggies in us, this is perfect.
Thanks sweets! Farfalle in Italian means Butterfly : )
Those are very sexy endives. Super creative and delish pasta dish. Yum!
That is one hot mama dish right there. My mouth is open. Ready to feed me?
That’s weird, sorry.
Mmm…love endive! Perfect for a quick lunch, which I always seem to forget ;D
This looks so good Paula! We all need more veggies and healthy recipes. Saving this one!

This recipe sounds wonderful! Although, I am not sure how proscuitto is vegetarian
Hi Rae, Thank you and you’re right – guess I hadn’t had my second cup of coffee and clicked the wrong box. We’ve fixed it! Thanks a bunch for the heads up : )
Looks good! Pasta is a great vehicle for more veggies.
Once again, Paula, you prove that eating “light” does not have to be boring. Thank you.
I am loving endive lately, and pasta is always one of my go-to’s, so I cannot wait to try this. So easy!
I really love endive and prosciutto and pasta….so what could be bad? Lovely recipe and wonderful photos. Thanks!
