Importance of Easy and Healthy Recipes for University Students

It's bad enough that university or college life could be stressful and full of pressures due to the large amount of academic tasks that you have to do, but it is aggravated by the fast food and other junk foods that you have to eat because you don't have enough time to prepare and cook healthy meals. I should know because I used to be like that. But now, thanks to the advice from my parents and from the information I got from reading various books and other reading materials about easy to cook recipe methods of healthy meals, I have healthy eating habits. I also noticed that I am more focused in the way I study and learn due to the healthy meals that I eat, which I prepare and cook myself.

Since most students are busy with their academic tasks, preparing and cooking a meal that is easy and healthy is essential. I have learned that pasta meals are main course meals that are not just easy to prepare and cook, but they could give you a feeling of fullness so that you really feel satisfied after eating a pasta meal.

An example of an easy to cook and healthy pasta dish is pasta with tuna that only takes at least 20 minutes to prepare and cook. For the ingredients, you would need: four ounces of long pasta; one tablespoon of olive oil; one chopped garlic clove; a small can of  flaked tuna, drained; two tablespoons of dried parsley; one tablespoon of tomato sauce; four flour ounces of chicken stock; and salt and black pepper.

1. Heat the oil in a pan, add the chopped garlic, fry for two minutes until it is soft. Add the tuna, tomato sauce, chicken stock, salt and pepper, and simmer for two minutes.

2. Boil salted water in a large pan, add the pasta, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until the pasta is tender.

3. When the pasta is tender, placed it in a colander and drain it well. Then, put the pasta in a large place, add the tuna mixture and mix it well. Now, it is ready to serve and eat.
