Nutritional values

One serving of this pasta dish contians half of your daily recommended fiber intake, which is great for your digestive tract and will keep you full for a long time. Complex carbohydrates provide power for exercise, and afterwards, the magnesium absorbed ensures muscle relaxation.

You can also use fennel instead of kohlrabi. Both have a high vitamin C content.
