Nutritional values

It is not only the wholemeal pasta that provides power here: broccoli is bursting with secondary plant substances such as glucosinolates (sulphur compounds) and beta-carotene. These can render free radicals harmless and thus protect our body cells. In addition, cabbage provides a lot of defensive vitamin C and a good portion of calcium.

If time is a little short, you can also simply fall back on frozen broccoli. The gratin does not only taste good with the green power vegetables. How about a mix of peppers, eggplant, dried tomatoes and olives?
