The content likely includes h2 for recipe title, p for intro, then a ul for ingredients, then ol for instructions maybe with sub items, then health tip maybe as p with strong or em. Let's design.\n\nWe want \"Pasta with Black Bean Dressing (Vegan)\". But we also need title in content could be h2. Content area:

Use strong/em tags. It's fine.\n\nWe also need prep_time and cook_time integers. Let's estimate: prep 15 min, cook 15 min. So 15 prep, 15 cook. Actually cooking pasta 10 min, dressing assembly maybe 5, total 15. Use integers. Good.\n\nReturn as JSON object. Make sure quotes used properly. Need to escape quotes inside content string? JSON string should escape double quotes. We must output JSON with valid string value. So we need to escape double quotes or use single quotes? JSON uses double quotes for keys and string values. Inside content, if we include double quotes, must be escaped. But easier: we avoid internal double quotes. We can use single quotes inside? In HTML content we don't need quotes. So we can keep content minimal. Let's create content with double quotes only for JSON quoting—the entire string must be in quotes; inside we can use double quotes but they'd need escaping. Safer to avoid double quotes inside. Use HTML attributes maybe not needed. So create content string with no double quotes. Fine.\n\nLet's compose:\n\ncontent: \nPasta with Black Bean Dressing (Vegan)
\nA bright, protein-packed pasta dish that’s easy to make and full of plant‑based flavor. The creamy black‑bean dressing pairs delightfully with al dente spaghetti or whole‑grain spaghetti, giving you a satisfying meal that fuels your body and tastes great.

Health Tip
\nFeel the difference! Using whole‑grain pasta and plant‑based protein boosts satiety and helps maintain steady blood sugar, while the antioxidant‑rich black beans and spinach support heart health.
\n\nEnsure no double quotes. Good. Now we need JSON. So:\n\n{\n \"content\": \"Pasta with Black Bean Dressing (Vegan)
...\",\n \"prep_time\": 15,\n \"cook_time\": 15\n}\n\nMake sure the content is a single string with all line breaks? JSON string can include newline escaped \\n. But we can just put raw content maybe with line breaks if we use \\n escapes. Simpler: include \\n within string quoted; but JSON in plain text may accept literal line breaks? Typically JSON string must be in double quotes and can't contain raw line breaks. But many processors allow but it's not strictly valid. Safer to escape or perhaps we can use \\n. But the instruction says return clean HTML content. We can embed line breaks? Usually JSON string may contain \\n if properly escaped: \"content\": \"...
\\n...
...\" We can include \\n. But easier to keep content as one long string with no newlines, maybe with spaces. We can use but too complex. I'd produce content string with minimal newline for readability; but to be safe, I will not use literal line breaks. Instead use spaces to separate elements.\n\nBut need readability maybe break characters inside string? but okay.\n\nLet's create content string without newlines:\n\nPasta with Black Bean Dressing (Vegan)
