The South Beach Diet
The South Beach diet is a diet plan invented by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that dieters should be eating "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbohydrates" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats"
Dr. agatston invented his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, as a consequence of his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other weight loss systems.
"good" foods include, lean beef, chicken breast, clams, fat-free cheeses, peanut butter, lowfat yoghurt and some vegatables, such as asparagus, lettuce and mushrooms.

Ingredients And Procedures

------------------------VEGETARIAN PASTA /W WALNUTS------------------------ ---------------------------------THE SAUCE--------------------------------- 3 Onions, yellow; chopped

2 Shallots; chopped

3 Garlic cloves; chopped

1/2 c Oil, Olive

3 tb Oil, Pepper Sherry *

1/2 Walnuts; coarsely chopped

2 ts Oregano, dried

1/3 c Basil leaves

- sliced in fine ribbons - Save the top centers - (florets) of the basil - for garnish 28 oz Tomatoes, crushed

- (canned) 1 c Wine, Burgundy

1/2 Bell Pepper, red

- julienne cut 3 Zucchini, baby size

- julienne cut Pepper, Red Crushed flakes Salt ---------------------------------THE PASTA--------------------------------- 3 c Mostaccioli

- (macaroni) --------------------------------THE TOPPING-------------------------------- Cheese, Mozzarella - Shredded Basil leaves; for garnish =========================== > Directions < ========================= Cook the pasta according to package directions. In a large skillet or sauce pan: Heat the Olive Oil and the Sherry Pepper Oil. Add and Saute the Oregano, Onions and Shallots until almost translucent before adding the garlic and walnuts. Add the walnuts and garlic. Saute, without letting the garlic brown. Add the crushed Tomatoes and Burgundy wine and Basil. Cook slowly over a low heat, uncovered. In a microwave oven: Cover and cook the julienned Red Pepper for 1 minute. Set aside. Cover and cook the julienned Zucchini for 2 to 3 minutes. Set aside. The Red Peppers and Zucchini will maintain their pretty coloring by cooking "al dente" in the microwave. When the tomato sauce has been reduced and is the consistency desired, add the Red Peppers and Zucchini. Heat the Broiler. Drain the cooked pasta. (Because water can cling to the insides of these little "macaroni pipes", I give the pasta a few spins in my Lettuce Spinner.) Add the pasta to the tomato sauce and toss. Taste the sauce, adding salt and Crushed Red Pepper Flakes as desired. Transfer the Pasta and Sauce to a oven proof serving dish. Liberally, sprinkle shredded Mozzarella Cheese on top of the Pasta mixture. Place under the broiler until the cheese melts. Remove from the oven and garnish with the Basil florets and leaves. =======================> Notes and Credits < ============================= * Pepper Sherry Oil from The Hot Pepper Jelly Company, Fort Bragg, CA. * ($4.50 for a 6 oz bottle ) Source: [ created and shared by Dorothy Hair Davis 3/94]
