Healthy, because
The chanterelles are small power mushrooms, because they are full of healthy ingredients such as iron, which we need for the formation of new blood cells. They also contain B vitamins and niacin, which plays an important role in energy metabolism. Together with whole wheat pasta, this dish is a good source of satiating fiber.
Even smarter
Refine the wholewheat pasta with pickled tomatoes cut into strips or sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the finished mushroom dish. The pasta with fresh chanterelles goes well with a lamb's lettuce or a mixed leaf salad with avocado.
