I really love Ellie Krieger’s show on the Food Network and I wish she would come out with a cookbook already!

Her show, Healthy Appetitie with Ellie Krieger, showcases exactly how I like to eat - fresh, colorful, wholesome ingredients, whole grains, and an emphasis on health without compromising good taste.

I want/plan to make almost everything she demos on the show, but the main recipe that I’ve loved so far and have made several times is Fettuccine with Creamy Red Pepper-Feta Sauce.

You put all this yummy oniony, peppery goodness into the blender with feta and a bit of broth and that’s all there is to it!

It combines my love of roasted bell peppers with the lowfat creaminess of feta coating whole wheat noodles. I use the Trader Joe’s Whole Wheat fettuccine which gives the perfect nutty heartiness without the cardboard dryness that sometimes characterizes whole grain pastas.

You should try it for yourself!
