Kamut Spaghetti Noodles With Olive Oil and Garlic

Kamut wheat is considered an ancient grain. The grain itself is very high in its protein content. It also contains a high mineral concentration especially in selenium, zinc, and magnesium. This grain variety is considered a high energy wheat, and provides the body with more energy in the form of complex carbohydrates. Because of its low oxidation levels it loses little nutritional content when being ground and processed. Even though this wheat variety contains gluten, it has been found to be more easily digestible by people who may have slight allergic tendencies.

Ingredients:

1 package of Kamut spaghetti noodles (available at Baxtrom's)
3 Tbsp organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cloves organic garlic (pressed or finely minced)
12 fresh basil leaves (chopped)
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
