“For years I have craved sugary foods, but didn’t know why. When I saw the local community center was offering a program on Stressed Out Bodies; Cravings, What Are These About I was intrigued to learn more. Michelle Sanderbeck's presentation helped me to understand why my body was craving certain foods and how to give my body the food and nutrients it needs so that I won’t crave the foods that I know that are not good for my health.” Andrew S.

Linguine with Spinach, Lemon Cream and Parmesan

INGREDIENTS
kosher salt 
1 pound box linguine pasta 
1 pound baby spinach 
1 small or medium zucchini, cut into long, fine julienne strips 
2 whole lemons, preferably organic, washed and dried 
1 cup heavy cream 
salt 
freshly ground pepper 
freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, to taste

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add salt and the linguine and cook, stirring, until the linguine is almost al dente, about 10 minutes. Stir in the spinach and the zucchini, if using. Cook, stirring frequently, until the linguine is al dente and the spinach is tender, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, using a microplane grater, zest the lemons (removing only the fragrant deep yellow skin and avoiding the bitter pith). Halve the lemons and squeeze the juice into a small bowl.

Remove 1/2 cup of the pasta water from the pot and drain the linguine. Pour the lemon juice over the pasta.

Add the pasta water, cream and lemon zest to the large pot and cook, stirring, until the cream thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Add the linguine and toss well until thoroughly coated. Season with salt and pepper, transfer to a bowl and serve with grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
