Accelerace Recipes
As part of our nutrition section we've included below some simple and easy recipes for quick and tasty meals. They're not complicated, but then they're not supposed to be.
If you have a particular favourite training food, or any suggestions for alterations/additions to the below recipes, let us know at the same address as usual enquiries@accelerace.co.uk.
All quantities are judged to feed one fairly hungry person.
Main Courses:
1. Fusilli with rocket, pine nuts and parmesan
A particular favourite, but admittedly one that does require three ingredients you're slightly less likely to just 'happen' to have in the cupboard.
- 250g fusilli (or more/less depending on how hard a training session it was),
- Olive oil,
- Handful of fresh rocket,
- Two tablespoons pine nuts,
- Lump of parmesan.
Cook the pasta, adding oil to prevent it sticking.
Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan, and once warm lightly fry the pine nuts till browned.
Drain the pasta and add rocket and pine nuts.
Stir with further splash of olive oil, and season with black pepper.
Top with grated parmesan.
2. Penne with bacon, ricotta and spinach
Ross's contribution to the menu list - "quick, easy and tasty"...
- 250g penne 'quick cook'
- Two rashers of lean unsmoked bacon
- Two big handfuls of fresh spinach
- One and a half tablespoons of ricotta
Cook the pasta, add olive oil to prevent it sticking.
Whilst pasta is cooking, grill the bacon.
Boil the spinach for 2 minutes.
Drain the pasta, and add spinach, chopped bacon and ricotta.
Stir, season with black pepper, and serve.
Deserts:
1. Greek yoghurt with raisins, crunchy muesli and honey
I'm hoping that this one doesn't need explaining..
2. Banana and raspberry smoothie
2 bananas
100g fresh raspberries
Pint of milk
You'll need a blender for this one - but as long as you've got one, simply throw in all the ingredients and blend to your heart's content.
