Today's Ingredients Carbonara (an Italian pasta dish that traditionally features diced pork, eggs, cheese, and black pepper) has probably been around for longer than its name — although it's not clear exactly how long that is. One theory is that carbonara was first made as a filling meal for charcoal workers in Italy. This popularized the term "coal miner's spaghetti" in the United States. Luckily, you don't have to be a charcoal worker or a coal miner to enjoy today's recipe, which adds kale to the mix.

This dish is lower in calories, sugar, and carbs than a traditional pasta dish while being high in protein and fiber. Kale is the star of this recipe, and it has some health benefits too. It's high in nutrients such as vitamin C and flavonoids, which may help protect your brain. Traditionally, carbonara is made with fatty cured pork. However, this recipe does not include any meat, so it's suitable for vegetarians. If you would like to add meat, keep in mind that cured pork, such as bacon, can be high in saturated fat. Options that are lower in saturated fat include grilled chicken, lean ground beef, and low fat bacon.

DAY 1 OF 3 Welcome to Day 1 of New Habits, New You! Over the course of this series, we'll explain how you can develop healthy habits that'll stick. Lifestyle habits are among the top influences on health. Making changes like limiting ultra-processed foods, exercising regularly, and avoiding harmful substances can significantly decrease your risk for chronic disease and improve the quality of your day-to-day life. To lead a healthy lifestyle, it can help to know the underlying psychology of habit change. The habit cycle, explained A habit is an action you do without thinking, often prompted by your emotions or something in your environment. Habits tend to follow a cycle: cue, routine, reward. For example: • Cue: starting your bedtime routine • Routine: flossing your teeth before brushing • Reward: your breath feels fresher and your teeth feel cleaner The flossing habit forms as the brain connects your bedtime routine with the rewarding feeling of fresher breath and cleaner teeth. After enough intentional practice (which we'll talk more about next week), flossing before you brush your teeth at night will become automatic. Old habits die hard Unwanted habits follow the same cycle. But breaking a habit, rather than building one, may require a slightly different approach. Some tips for breaking unwanted habits are: • identifying your triggers • swapping it out for a healthier one • starting small • leaving reminders • practicing patience • rewarding yourself • acknowledging progress Believe us on this: Stubborn, old habits are breakable, no matter how automatic they may feel ... even smoking!
