A golden rule: no cheese with seafood in Italian cooking. But a little cheese does so well with this lemony cream sauce!
Ingredients:
1 lb rigatoni or spaghetti, cooked
1 lb jumbo shrimp, deveined, shelled and baked
Garlic salt to taste
Juice and zest of two lemons
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup white wine (or low sodium chicken broth)
1 Tbsp butter
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley
1/4 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Directions:
Try baking shrimp! Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray and pour in 1/2 cup water onto the pan — creating a shallow bath. Place the shrimp onto the pan, season with garlic salt and bake for about 8 –10 minutes (while pasta cooks). When done, set aside shrimp and cooked pasta while you prepare lemony, fresh-
Zest both lemons. Squeeze juice and pulp into a cup. Set aside. In a 12” skillet or sauté pan, combine cream, white wine and butter,.a bring to a boil. Turn down heat and gently stir until the sauce starts to thicken (about 8 minutes). Stir in lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add shrimp to sauce and heat through; then toss with pasta. Sprinkle with parsley, lemon zest, Parmesan and red pepper flakes (optional). Serve.

Even in the Islands it can get chilly during the winter months and on those days there’s nothing more satisfying or easy to prepare as a home-made soup. This soup provides a good dose of protein from the chicken breast, lots of fresh ingredients that pack on the flavor and a creamy broth of limey coconut.
In a large pan with a lid, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper, and brown well on both sides. Remove chicken from the pan. Drain off some of the oil, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
Summer brings in the time of year when melons are in season. Watermelon, honeydew and cantaloupe are rich in vitimins, minerals and antioxidants such as beta-carotene, lycopene, potassium, magnesium vitamin A and C. Adding them to a green smoothie makes for a tasty drink and a great way to get a lot of healthy nutrients into your body at one time.
Ingredients
A colorful summer delight. You’ll want to use a nice rigatoni (tube) or farfalle (bowtie) pasta for this recipe. The shape of the pasta is perfect with the creamy sauce and serves as the perfect backdrop for the beautiful greens and pinks of the asparagus and shrimp.

The most important thing for our health is to get enough fruits and vegetables on a daily basis. It provides antioxidants, micronutrients, and phytochemicals to protect us from disease such as cancer and heart disease. These nutrients help us continue to function on a cellular level, keep our immune system strong and add a lot of fiber that’s needed in a healthful diet. The requirement is 5–7 servings of fruits and vegetables and 25–30 grams of fiber daily. Leafy greens like kale, collard, Swiss chard and spinach are the most nutrient-dense of all foods. Yet most people find it challenging to get this into their diets.
Ingredients
This is a great appetizer because of its big, two-level crunch. First, the happy pop of the tobikko, and then the satisfying crunch of the crostini.
