Reading Time: 2 minutes

Ingredient Highlights

Basil has powerful anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antioxidant properties.

Cayenne pepper is a good source of beta carotene and antioxidants that support the immune system. The key compound in cayenne called capsaicin is also cardioprotective, anti-inflammatory, helps prevent kidney stones and speed up metabolism, and has beneficial effects on the GI system.

There are over 300 varieties of garlic grown around the world. It is considered both a vegetable and an herb and is clinically proven to support the immune system.

Pure olive oil is high in nutrients including vitamins D, E, K, and A as well as omega-3 fatty acids. For the highest quality, look for organic extra virgin olive oil in dark glass bottles or tins that have an expiry date.

With the Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens in this recipe, you not only get 5 different types of collagen, but also camu camu, acerola cherry, horsetail extract (silica), and zinc gluconate to ensure your body can actually USE the collagen you’re taking.

Parmesan cheese is low in carbs and a favorite for adding flavor to low-carb dishes. If using conventional dairy products, look for cheese made with milk from free-range, grass-fed animals.

Pine nuts – Pine nuts are the edible seeds from the female cone on pine trees. They are rich in magnesium, iron, antioxidants, zinc, and protein.

Spaghetti Squash is low in calories and carbohydrates (one cup cooked is only 42 calories and 10 grams of carbs) and makes an excellent nutrient-dense substitution for pasta. It’s also a good source of fiber, vitamin C, manganese, and vitamin B6.
