Alkaline Main Dishes: Spelt Pasta with Spicy Eggplant Sauce

Who doesn't love pasta??! Eating according to an Alkaline Lifestyle doesn't mean you have to give up pasta at all. You can eat it moderately if considering the following:

- always choose vegetable or spelt pasta,
- leave out all the meat and tuna,
- and add loads of fresh vegetables.

Enjoy :-)

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 7oz. (200g) spelt pasta
• 1 fresh eggplant
• 1 fresh red bell pepper
• 1 medium-sized onion
• 1 clove of garlic
• 1 small chili
• 1 cup yeast-free vegetable stock
• 1 handful of fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon organic sea salt
• 1 pinch of cayenne pepper
• Some cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil

Directions:

1. Cook the pasta following packet directions.

2. Meanwhile, cut eggplant and bell pepper into cubes, and chop the onion, garlic, chili and basil into small pieces.

3. Heat some olive oil in pan and stir-fry onions and garlic for a couple of minutes. Add eggplant and pepper cubes as well as the chili and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes.

4. Dissolve yeast-free vegetable stock in 1 cup of water (check directions), then add to pan. Simmer on low heat for around 10 minutes, stir occasionally.

5. Finally, add the basil and season with cayenne pepper and salt. Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta and serve immediately. Enjoy this alkaline dish!
