A few years ago when I first went to university, I vowed to lose weight by eating in such a way that was healthy, satiating, convenient and cheap. I began a journey that was half typical university student (convenience foods and odd combinations of instant foods) and half passionate foodie (finding random boutique groceries). Please enjoy my blog :)

Healthy smoked salmon and kale linguine alfredo
I was in the unusual situation of having kale, smoked salmon and eggs to used up. I therefore did a search on Google for recipes with salmon, kale and eggs and came up with a version of alfredo that uses a raw egg sauce instead of cream. There is also this idea that you can substitute half the amount of pasta you would usually eat with a vegetable, in this case, kale. Kale is bitter and tough, so rubbing it with salt and and cooking it as much as possible are good ways of making it more palatable. Therefore, what I did was cook the kale and pasta together and drain, and while they were still hot, quickly added a mixture of beaten egg and skim milk. In true student fashion, I had also used some of the cheese powder that comes in sachets with those packets of Easy Mac (it was dissolved into the milk). You could of course use a little normal cheese like a normal person. Despite this, I think I can grandly state that I have made "healthy smoked salmon and kale linguine alfredo." The smoked salmon was untouched because I prefer it that way. Even so, it began to cook on top of the pasta as I was eating it.
