That’s our name for the extraordinary team we’ve assembled to create the most appealing, healthy, mouth-watering – and yes, easy – recipes you could ever imagine.

The most important thing to know about the SuperFoods Rx Kitchen is that the recipes will be delicious, easy, healthy and appealing. Most important, they are not afraid of simple. Anyone who has ever roasted a vegetable knows that sometimes a recipe need have no more than two ingredients to be fabulous.

We will be sharing these mouthwatering recipes with you through the regular “Healthy Feels Great” newsletter, as well as featuring many of them throughout this web site.

Best of all, we are working on a brand new cookbook, which will feature the very best recipes developed by the SuperFoodsRx Kitchen and by the thousands of cooks who know the nutritional power of the superfoods.

Sesame Noodles with Spinach and Zucchini Saute

Use buckwheat soba, udon, Chinese noodles, fettuccine, or linguine in
this dish. Toasted sesame oil, a rich dark brown in color, is used as a flavoring. 1 pound noodles

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 medium leek, halved and sliced, white and green parts

1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and minced, optional

3 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into Vz-inch-thick slices

2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce

2/3 cup brewed green tea

1 cup fresh or frozen green soybeans, shelled, or green peas

4 cups fresh baby spinach

1 medium lemon, zest and juice

2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil

2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles. Note that Asian noodles usually have a higher salt content than Italian pasta, so salt the water accordingly, and they cook much taster than pasta. While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet, add the garlic and saute for a minute, then add the leek and saute until softened and bright green, about a minute. Add the ginger, if using, and the zucchini and saute until the zucchini is almost tender, about 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, brewed tea, and soybeans, and bring to a low boil. Add the spinach, lemon juice and zest, toasted sesame oil, and sesame seeds, and stir once. Serve over drained hot noodles.
Serve the remaining marinade,
