Carb-load with a delicious low-fat spaghetti dish for peak performance.
Ingredients:
  • 2 large red onions, halved, cut into thin wedges
  • 13.80 gm extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 300g spaghetti
  • 2 anchovy fillets, drained, chopped
  • 30.60 gm vegetable liquid stock
  • 8 kalamata olives, pitted, halved
  • 40.00 ml capers, rinsed, drained
  • 1 small fresh red birdseye chilli, deseeded, finely chopped
  • 82.50 ml loosely packed chopped fresh continental parsley
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200°C and line a baking tray with non-stick baking paper.
  • In a bowl, coat onion wedges with 1 teaspoon of oil, season with salt and pepper, and gently toss to combine. Spread evenly on a lined tray and roast in a preheated oven for 40 minutes or until edges are golden and onions are tender.
  • Boil spaghetti in a large saucepan of salted water according to package instructions until al dente, roughly 15 minutes before onions are done.
  • In a small saucepan over low heat, heat the remaining teaspoon of oil. Cook the anchovies, stirring, until they start to dissolve. Add vegetable stock or water, olives, capers, and chili. Toss over heat for 1 minute.
  • After draining the spaghetti, transfer it back to the saucepan. Mix in the rest of the oil, roasted onions, olive mixture, and parsley, gently tossing to blend. Portion into serving bowls and enjoy right away.
