0:20
voila all right
0:24
everybody happy New Year once again we
0:27
are thank you very much we're talking
0:29
about uh New Year's resolutions and
0:31
making some simple changes to your diet
0:34
that may make you feel and look a little
0:36
bit better and today we're going to
0:38
tackle spaghetti I love spaghetti it was
0:41
a staple in my house growing up my mom
0:43
makes probably the best spaghetti sauce
0:46
and lasagna and goulash and uh these are
0:49
all just really good things but today
0:51
we're going to do a little bit of a A
0:53
variation on the on the classic
0:54
spaghetti we're going to use chicken and
0:56
we're going to use tomatoes and camata
0:58
olives and uh we're going to create a
1:00
really beautiful and healthy dish so
1:02
let's start with the pasta uh a simple
1:04
change that you can make is to use a
1:05
whole wheat pasta and I'm going to use
1:07
about a a box of it into my water and
1:12
we'll move on to the chicken I'm a big
1:14
fan of Springer Mountain chicken um no
1:16
antibiotics they're fed a completely
1:18
vegetarian diet they're really good
1:21
clean healthy Birds it's just my
1:23
preference what I'm going to do is I'm
1:26
going to pound this chicken into thin
1:30
breasts and I'm going to use a plastic
1:32
bag that I've cut the edges on to kind
1:35
of contain it so I don't contaminate
1:38
everything else on my
1:42
counter all
1:44
right that's pounded out pretty good all
1:50
right this is the way that I really like
1:52
to cook and eat at my house and for me
1:56
the word resolution doesn't really ring
1:59
real well with me cuz I think it's about
2:00
lifestyle changes when I turned 30 I
2:03
decided cuz I just didn't feel good and
2:05
I didn't look good I decided that I
2:08
wanted to make some changes and I
2:10
started with uh exercise which is I know
2:13
it ain't no fun
2:15
boo uh but I started by embracing
2:17
exercise and I tell you what when when I
2:19
began to work out it really changed the
2:23
way that I looked at Food it'll just
2:25
kind of make you reassess you know what
2:27
you're putting in your
2:28
mouth so start out with a couple of
2:30
tablespoons of olive
2:32
oil and I've got some beautiful little
2:35
tomatoes and calamada olives I I love
2:38
olives of any kind and olives are
2:43
actually they're they're good for you
2:45
they're kind of like avocados that's the
2:46
good fat there's a lot of sodium in
2:48
there but uh very good fat for you and
2:50
I'm just going to cut them in half if
2:52
you wanted to rough chop them you could
2:54
do that and you know what not only is
2:56
this a very healthy good for you recipe
2:58
this recipe is less than $10
3:00
so maybe your resolution includes saving
3:01
some money
3:03
too all right so my tomatoes and olives
3:06
and in just a minute I'll add a clove of
3:08
garlic and of course I'm going to
3:09
reserve some pasta water for the sauce
3:11
because the starch in there will help
3:13
give it some body and some flavor about
3:16
a cup or a/2 cup of your pasta water so
3:18
if you're making a meat sauce add that
3:20
into your meat sauce and it'll give it
3:21
some nice flavor and thicken it
3:24
up so there's
3:27
that take a look at our chicken
3:32
that looks very
3:37
nice
3:43
garlic add some
3:50
garlic maybe a little salt and
3:55
[Music]
3:58
pepper
4:02
that's going to be really nice I'm going
4:05
to add a little bit of my pasta
4:08
water now y'all not only is this recipe
4:10
less than 10 bucks there's only 250
4:13
calories per serving and less than 9
4:15
gram of
4:18
fat so the pasta is done now this dish
4:21
is not only healthy and inexpensive it's
4:24
going to be really really
4:27

4:29
