Baby Portabello Mushrooms and Conchiglie Recipe

Cooking time: 25 minutes (including boiling of pasta)
 
Ingredients:
500 grams conchiglie (seashell pasta)
6 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
500g organic portabello mushrooms
1 red bell pepper, julienne
¼ cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Italian parsley, sliced
2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
A cup of baby rocket
Salt and pepper, to taste

Another great meal to add to your list is something freshly steamed, like steamed lapu-lapu (grouper fish). Fish in itself is already a healthy and delicious meal. But for it to be steamed instead of fried only makes it even more mouth-watering and rich with nutrients.
 
Boost the flavor of your steamed lapu-lapu with your own combination of herbs and spices using the Philips Food Steamer HD9140. Its Flavour Booster improves steamed food with delectable herbs and spices without doing anything more than popping herbs into the booster. The steamer requires little effort to operate with its digital timer and a Keep Warm function to keep food ready for serving all the time.

You can also make baby food using this Philips Food Steamer and a food processor. You may check out the top 5 small food processors for your kitchen from Cuisinart, Hamilton Beach, and Black & Decker brands.
