Brain, not brawn: Popeye might have downed spinach to get big muscles, but if he'd been smarter, he'd have known the leafy green powerhouse gets its real punch from abundant antioxidants, which can keep you thinking sharply. Ingredients:
5 cups water |
2 cups uncooked orzo (rice-shaped pasta) |
5 cups coarsely chopped spinach |
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled feta cheese |
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil |
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add orzo. Cook 10 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain.
2. Combine pasta, spinach, and feta in a large bowl. Combine oil and remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Drizzle lemon mixture over pasta mixture; toss well to coat.
