Ricetta per intolleranti al lattosio

Ingredienti per due persone: 250 gr. di tagliatelle if you find the dough with cocoa otherwise add one to two teaspoons of cocoa powder, soy cream, almonds, red pepper, a packet of saffron powder, sea salt

In the cold and dark winter days, a plate of This might be revitalizing. Saffron is the cacao (see after the benefits of chocolate) have substances that can promote the production of serotonin, so having a positive effect on mood. Almonds being rich in magnesium may also help them to have a positive effect on the overall well being. There are several recent studies that confirm the existence of a close connection between food and mind. Not only that we eat can favorably affect the immune system (see post role of nutrition in immune system), but also our psychological state. Under physiological conditions, ie if the person does not have any particular ailments, a healthy diet based on carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants, helps to restructure the structures of brain cells, as well as to promote an optimal transition of neurotransmitters from cell to cell. And 'well-known that such an unbalanced diet can affect mood by episodes of anxiety, insomnia, irritability. This is good news that even in case of serious problems such as depression or mood schizophrenia or bipolar syndrome or other, when people need to be followed by an audiologist, a good diet combined with therapy, can help.

Back to the recipe. With a food processor chop the almonds and mix with soy cream (I recommend organic, because the transgenic soya could be), and one or two teaspoons of cocoa powder (if not present in the mixture of noodles). Add small pieces of crushed red pepper and cook for a few minutes while Boil the noodles. At the last minute, add the saffron you have melted in a few ml of warm water, remember that the saffron and heat-labile, therefore should not be cooked long. Drain the noodles and quickly ripassatele with the dressing to blend the flavors. Remember that with a dish like this, with a little 'salad before, then you're in the latter. As there are the soy cream this dish is suitable for lactose intolerant. Use it well and not "drogatevi" with cocoa. Everything is good, but do not overdo it! I wish you a good dinner!
