Palate pleasing pastime: pasta
Farmers cuts rates
on auto insurance
for drivers between
30 and 60
Eating pasta may be one o f the
new
national
pastime*.
Pasia
consumption ha* grown significant*
ly — 20 percent to be exact — since
1970. About 1.5 billion pounds o f
pasta are consumed annually in this
country, or about 6.5 pound* per
person, according to figures from
the National Pasta Association.
Pasta or spaghetti is popular for a
number o f reasons. I t ’s economical
— an average serving o f plain spag­
hetti costs less than 10 cent*. W hile
pasta is low in cost, there's nothing
low about it* nutritional value. Tw o
ounces o f dry pasta contain just 210
calories and supply 10 percent o f the
U .S . Recommended Daily A llo w ­
ance (U .S . R D A ) o f protein, 35
percent o f thiamine, 15 percent of
riboflavin, 15 percent o f niacin and
10 percent of iron.
A nd, as most alert cooks know,
pasta is versatile. Just change the
sauce and pasta goes from ordinary
to elegant. Serve it hot or cold; as a
salad, an entree or a side dish.
Combining pasta with meat or
poultry is a good way to stretch
food dollars. For example. Pasta
M arco Polo with a decidely Italian
heritage, does just that with a half
cup o f ham and other ingredients to
feed six. This substantial main dish
owes its ease o f preparation to quick
cooking vegetables and a can o f
chunky vegetable beef soup. The
other ingredients include ham,
mushrooms, zucchini, tomato and
those favorite seasonings oregano
and garlic.
Another way to stretch meat —
this time a quarter pound of sausage
— is Sausage and Green Pepper
Pasta. This great tasting entree has a
wonderfully velvety sauce that gets
its rich texture from condensed
cream o f mushroom soup. Green
pepper, garlic and onion are flavor
accents.
Pas'a Primavera with Sesame
Seed is a variation on the traditional­
ly spring and early summer vege­
table and pasta dish. The creamy
sauce, which conveniently gets its
start from condensed cream o f
chicken soup, is flecked with parsley
and provides a luscious backdrop
for the cauliflower, pease and other
ingredients. Served over plain or
spinach spaghetti, this pasta dish
can be the basis for a light supper
with a crisp, green salad, crusty
bread and sliced sweet strawberries.
O r serve as a side dish to accompany
roast chicken.
Pasta is perfect any season, for
any meal and any occasion.

There’s a good reason for this, farmers knows
that these drivers lend to be safer ami more
careful on the highway. You're the drivers who
have fewer accidents That's why farmers created
our 30/60 package auto policy. If you qualify,
you could save substantially on your premiums
farmers Insurance Group is working constantly
to keep the costs of insurance down, and the

Vitamin C can
be harmful
Daily "megadoses” o f Vitamin C
reduce the body’* ability to use cop­
per. an essential nutrient, an Oregon
State University researcher has re­
ported.
''A lthough it's been demonstrat­
ed previously in laboratory animals,
our study showed for the First time
that high intake o f ascorbic acid
(Vitam in C ) is antagonistic to cop­
per status in hum ans," said Florian
Cerklewski, O SU foods and nutri­
tion professor.

In the O SU experiment, 13 men
20 to 33 years old, judged to have
normal blood chemistry, took 1,500
milligrams of ascorbic acid a day for
about two months (500 milligrams
with each meal for a total 25 times
the recommended daily intake).
Blood levels o f a copper-con­
taining protein necessary in the
body’s utilization o f stored iron
dropped an average o f 26 percent in
the volunteers but remained within
normal range, Cerklewski said.
Large daily doses o f Vitamin C
have been credited by some in recent
years as having value in combating
ailments ranging from the common
cold to cancer.
Copper is in whole grains, organ
meats, peanuts, seafood like oysters
and perch and other foods. Most
people who eat a balanced diet have
an adequate supply. Cerklewski
said.
" I don't think it is a wise course
to recommend more dietary copper
because o f this study," he said
"R ather, the major point should be
that 25 times more vitamin C than is
recommended is not without poten­
tial o f inducing a nutrient imbal­
ance. at least in terms o f copper . "
Cerklewski conducted the re­
search
with
graduate
student
Elizabeth Finley. The study was
funded by O SU's Agricultural Ex­
periment Station.
