Why not try this healthy spaghetti with grilled mackerel for a change?

What is the point of eating if it does nothing to the body? Food is to the body like breath is to life.

In this recipe, I used mackerel due to its goodness, it is a good source of vitamin D, protein, selenium and vitamin B. It is very rich in omega-3 fatty acids.It also contains the type of fat that is beneficial to our body called monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Wholemeal spaghetti is the type of pasta that I used, you can choose any pasta of your choice. However, I think it is important to know that wholemeal pasta is high in vitamin B, minerals such as manganese, selenium and magnesium. It is filling compared to refined pasta and it supplies the body’s need by slowly releasing energy.  It contains high nutritional benefits naturally, unlike refined pasta which is enriched with vitamins. The wholemeal food contains the body’s need naturally with fewer fortifications.
