When unearthing the body of Ötzi, the Bronze Age man found perfectly preserved in the Italian Alps in the 90s, scientists found that for his last meal he had eaten an ancient species of wheat called einkorn.

I’ve been dreaming about Jovial’s einkorn pasta since Friday. These making-of photos may have something to do with that. Yummm.

Get the whole story here.

Penne med tomat, mozzarella, vitlök & kapris

Koka ett paket penne pasta (jag använde fullkorn idag, men vanlig går lika bra).

Skär under tiden upp några tomater (jag hade två idag), mozzarella (jag hade typ ett halvt block) och vitlök (en klyfta).

När pastan är klar, häll ur vattnet, men spar lite kokvatten i kastrullen (man slipper använda mindre olja då) och blanda i tomaterna, mozzarellan och kaprisen, typ ett kluck olivolja och salt och peppar efter smak. Jag hade även i lite hemodlad oregano idag. Ibland har jag också i soltorkade tomater, jag skär dem i mindre bitar och använder då oljan de ligger i istället för olivolja. Det blir ca fyra portioner men jag spar alltid resten och tar med som lunch till jobbet.

Enkelt och supergott!

This is one of my favorite simple recipes (thanks Sergio). It’s healthy and quick. I always use something called Healthy Harvest to wash my fruits and veggies with before eating or cooking with them. It gets rid of any pesticide residue, something we should never consume.

Penne with tomato, mozzarella, garlic & capers

Boil a box of penne pasta (I used whole wheat today but regular is fine too).

While it’s cooking, slice a few tomatoes (I used two today), mozzarella (I used like half a block) and garlic (one clove).

When the pasta is done, drain the water but save some in the pot (that way you can use less oil) och mix the tomatoes, mozzarella and capers in there with like one glug of olive oil and salt and pepper to taste. I also put some homegrown oregano in there today. Sometimes I also use sundried tomatoes, cutting them into smaller pieces and using the oil they come in instead of olive oil. Serves about four but I always save the rest to bring for lunch to work.

Simple and super yummy.
