Radical Homemaker Quick Tip
Eat your veggies! Try adding organic spinach, arugula or broccoli. No need to cook. Right before you strain your pasta – throw the veggies into the boiling pasta water – then strain. The residual heat will wilt your veggies just enough.
Cutting basil into ribbons – take all your basil leaves and stack them on top of each other in the same direction. Roll from tip and to stem. Carefully hold in place and slice.
