What’s cooking at Cleveland Regional Medical Center?


Cleveland Regional Medical Center is hosting an online cooking show featuring healthy, fresh recipes. For information, go online to www.clevelandregionalmedicalcenter.com.

Cleveland Regional Medical Center (CRMC) makes it easy to cook healthier foods that are low-calorie, lower in fat and full of flavor.

Instead of simply telling the community to eat better, CRMC is showing everyone how to make their favorite dishes healthier in a new web series called The Health eCooking™ Show.

In September, Cleveland Regional Medical Center put dozens of Health eCooking recipes and cooking videos on www.clevelandregionalmedicalcenter.com. More delicious recipes and videos will be added every month.

Health eCooking™ is part of the hospital’s free Healthy Woman membership program, but everyone can use it, especially people who want to eat better, lose weight or find foods that help them manage diabetes or heart disease.


“Cooking shows are popular on television. They’re even better on the web because you can slow the program down, back it up, even print the ingredient list,” said Amber Kincaid, marketing director, Cleveland Regional Medical Center. “It’s easy to cook healthier foods when you watch a chef prepare a low-fat pasta dish or make a dessert for someone with diabetes.”

The Health eCooking™ Show video on the Internet features step-by-step cooking instructions. A professional chef shows how to make healthy versions of America’s favorite dishes, such as fresh tomato pasta, chicken casserole and meatloaf. All recipes are approved by registered hospital dietitians.

Healthcare publisher Baldwin Publishing (www.BaldwinPublishing.com) in Lambertville, NJ, produces The Health eCooking™ Show for Cleveland Regional Medical Center. This fall Health eCooking™ videos will feature an Apple and Root Vegetable side dish for Thanksgiving and healthy holiday appetizers for the holidays.

Fresh Tomato Pasta (see photo)

Serves 12

• 1 lb. whole grain penne pasta

• 1 lb. fresh tomatoes

• 3 oz. Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

• 3 oz. arugula, washed and stemmed

• 1 1/3 cups fresh basil

• 2 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 tbsp. aged balsamic vinegar

• freshly ground black pepper

Boil 2 gallons of water for the pasta.

Chop fresh tomatoes into half-inch pieces and place them in a large pasta serving bowl.

With a vegetable peeler, shave thick slices of cheese into the bowl; grate the cheese that is too small to shave, leaving remaining cheese for garnish.

Tear arugula and basil into small pieces. Place in the bowl. Add the remaining ingredients, except the pasta. Toss well.

Cook pasta until al dente. Drain and immediately toss pasta with the sauce until well-coated. Serve in individual pasta bowls and sprinkle with extra cheese and freshly ground pepper. It’s a pasta party.
