POPEYE, ALIVE AND STILL KICKING AT THE FARMSTYLE MARKET!!!

Organic Spinach available at the Farmstyle Market!!

Your mother was NOT wrong! Studies have proven that Spinach can reduce the amount of wrinkles you have in a big way, one source says you will look 38% younger in just a couple of weeks. While this may or may not be true, there is one thing that is true: Spinach is awesome for your skin!

Spinach is crammed with the substance known as lutein. Recent French research has shown that lutein helps skin hydration and elasticity, which in the end helps get rid and prevent wrinkles. You will need at least 10mg of lutein for it to have any effect, which is roughly a 4oz serving of spinach.

While Popeye ate spinach straight out of the can, but you don't have to. Spinach makes the perfect compliment to a garden salad, or you might even like spinach soup...and we have brought in BUCKET loads for you!

Mondays made easy!!
Farmstyle Market is making your Monday easy. Spice up your Monday night with a little help from the "Ladies" of Naples! Pasta Puttanesca!!

Also known as "whore's pasta," the name of this robust pasta dish originated in Naples after the local women of easy virtue. All the ingredients are just as easy to put your hands on, making this a quick and satisfying meal!
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 onion—finely chopped
2 cloves garlic—finely chopped
4 anchovy fillets—chopped
1 small red chili—deseeded and finely chopped
2 teaspoons capers—rinsed and drained
8 pitted black olives—quartered
14 oz (420g) canned tomatoes—chopped
½ teaspoon sea salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
7 oz (200g) spaghetti

Method
HEAT 2 tablespoons of the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and cook the onion for 6 minutes, stirring occasionally. ADD the garlic and anchovies and cook for a minute, stirring to break up the anchovies. ADD the chili, capers, olives, tomatoes, salt and pepper, and bring to the boil. REDUCE the heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. WHILE the sauce is simmering, cook the pasta. DRAIN the cooked pasta into a colander and put the sauce in the bottom of the pot. TOP with the hot pasta, parsley and reserved tablespoon of olive oil, and toss together gently to combine. Variation: To make this meal more protein-packed you can add a 6 oz (180g) can of tuna (drained and flaked) to the sauce at the end of cooking to heat through.
