Ferrari fit meal of the day:
Quinoa Puttanesca! A healthy twist to an Italian classic: 

What You’ll Need:
1 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
6 anchovy fillets
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
12 kalamata olives, chopped
14 ounce can crushed tomatoes
2.5 ounces baby spinach (about half a standard prepackaged box)
3 cups cooked quinoa
What to Do:
1. In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped garlic, anchovy fillets, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for 3 minutes, until garlic is golden brown and anchovies have dissolved into oil.
2. Add olives and tomatoes and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
3. Add baby spinach and cook for another 5 minutes, until wilted.
4. Turn off heat and stir in cooked quinoa.  Serve warm, with additional olives for garnish.
*Note: A simple protein, like sauteed shrimp or grilled chicken is a great, simple addition to this meal!
