Whole-Wheat Spaghetti with Pumpkin Sauce
Healthy, because

Nutritional values
The pumpkin supplies silicic acid, which strengthens the skin, nails and connective tissue. Its high content of beta-carotene catches cell-damaging free radicals, helps to prevent cardiovascular diseases and, if necessary, is transformed into vitamin A in the body, which is beneficial for our eyes and our vision, especially at dusk and dawn.
If you don't get one: you can replace the Daikon cress with regular garden cress.
