Farfalle With Watercress, Cherry Tomatoes and Feta Ingredients 8 ounces farfalle pasta 1 cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese 2 pints cherry tomatoes, halved 3 cups watercress leaves (from 2 small bunches) 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Directions Cook pasta according to package directions. Place the cheese in a large bowl; top with the watercress. Before draining the pasta, take 1/4 cup of the cooking water from the pot and pour it over the watercress. (Watercress will wilt slightly and cheese will get soft.) Place the tomatoes in a colander. Drain the pasta over the tomatoes for a super-quick blanch. Toss with the watercress and cheese; sprinkle with pepper and serve. Honey Baked Chicken Juicy and flavorful, these honey-baked chicken drumsticks are wonderful over brown rice. Makes 10 drumsticks Total time: 1 hour 25 minutes Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 1 hour 15 minutes Ingredients Nonstick cooking spray 10 (4oz) chicken drumsticks 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons honey 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 1 teaspoon kosher salt 1 teaspoon curry powder 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Directions 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking dish with foil (to save you some serious cleanup later as the honey caramelizes) and lightly spray it with nonstick spray. 2. Remove the skin from the drumsticks by pulling on the top part of the skin with a paper towel and pulling hard, all the way down, then yanking the skin off. You can leave the skin on, of course, but it will add calories and fat. I’ve made it both ways, and my family and I agree – this chicken is delicious and juicy even without the skin. 3. Arrange drumsticks in pan. Whisk together the olive oil, honey, mustard, salt, curry powder and pepper. Evenly pour the mixture over the chicken, brushing to coat. 4. Bake about 1 1/4 hours, basting every 15 minutes, until chicken is browned and juices run clear, flipping the drumsticks after the first 45 minutes, to allow both sides to brown.
