A quick and easy midweek staple, I can’t really give accurate measurements, or even precise ingredients, as it depends who’s having it and what we have in, but these are the basic steps:
Veggies (organic where possible, washed and unpeeled): This time we used celery, carrot, chestnut mushrooms, peas, broccoli, courgette, all chopped up small (I used to start off with onion and garlic, but have omitted them from my diet this past few months to see if it helps with digestive issues, it does), we also use green beans when in season and leeks.
Add black pepper
Sweat them in some coconut oil for a few minutes
Add a little vegetable stock, some herbs, tamari, tomato purée if not avoiding nightshades (I push the boat out occasionally with a little tomato now and then but I can’t tolerate tinned tomatoes made into a sauce).
Cook on a low heat, with a lid on
Add half a can of organic mixed beans at the end to warm through (we alternate between beans and lentils)
Check seasoning
If you want to thicken it a little, use a stick blender or mix in some nutritional yeast
Cook pasta of your choice, we used Doves Farm Gluten-free Fusilli.
Arrange pasta in a pasta bowl, pour over sauce, mix in some nutritional yeast for B vitamins, protein and a cheesy flavour, top with fresh basil leaves and baby tomatoes.
Makes enough for 2, with a green salad.

Looks so colourful and tasty. I read some where the more colourful the food the better it is for you. You get a big tick.

Yup, the healthy-eating mantra is ‘Eat a rainbow every day’, all the different coloured foods have different nutritional benefits. Always good to hear from you 😊🌷

This one made my mouth water! Not a fan of most GF pastas, I’ll do it over rice. I didn’t know that topping with nutritional yeast would add a cheesy flavor – though I did know about the B vitamins and protein boost. See what one learns through blogging?! Thanks for sharing.

If you grind some peeled almonds with nutritional yeast and a little garlic powder, it’s even more like Parmesan.
