Pasta with chicken and celery
Description
This simple and hearty dish contains nothing unusual, except perhaps celery. It is very healthy, and they say that when you eat celery, your body burns more calories than it gains—a useful tip for those trying to lose weight. But even if that's not entirely true, celery is still full of vitamins and nutrients. We are used to seeing this root vegetable used mainly in salads and soups. Although it's often recommended to consume it raw, I suggest lightly stewing it—this makes celery much more delicious.
