Bok Choy & Pasta
What is Bok Choy? It is a Chinese cabbage that is similar to turnip although it is leafy. It is a kind of catch 22. It is high in vitamin A and the organic compounds found in Bok Choy or Pak Choi have been reported to prevent cancer, however larges doses have also been known to be toxic.
Bok Choy is typically used in Chinese cuisine. I just happened to have some leftover and thought I’d try something new.
8 oz spaghetti, cooked and drained
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 small onion, diced
¼ cup parmesan cheese
2 cloves garlic minced
1 cup chopped Bok Choy, and 2 cups Bok Choy leaves
½ cup chicken broth
Sauté garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil for one minute, add onion and cook 2 more minutes. Add Bok Choy and chicken broth; cover and cook 8-10 minutes until leaves are wilted and Bok Choy is tender.
Toss spaghetti with one tablespoon olive oil and spoon Bok Choy over top, sprinkle with parmesan cheese.
