Last week, I worked the NEW U Wellness Fair at Ursinus College in Collegeville, PA. The Wellness Committee is clearly doing something right. Everyone I met had a good handle on healthy eating choices. Certainly their work is paying off. Folks are eating better and moving more, which has the added benefit of keeping health care costs down.
Their Wellness Committee invited me to do a couple of food demos focusing on healthy foods. The salads part was easy. Fill up on healthy, interesting vegetable preparations and you will be too full to eat a veal chop wrapped in bacon. The more difficult presentation, cooking whole wheat pasta was a challenge. Whole wheat penne is not as firm as that made with semolina or durum wheat. In order to make it firm and able to be sauced without turning to mush, it is a good idea to saute it in very hot olive oil. Oh, and to keep it healthy, cut your portion. On one needs to eat as many noodles as they serve you in most red gravy restaurants. Recipes for all the stuff I cooked at the Wellness Fair are available at the above link.
