Minimal washing up whilst creating a really delicious and balanced meal in 15 minutes! It’s using courgettes, kale, basil and nasturtium all from the allotment.

I love a warm and comforting bowl of pasta when it’s cold and grey outside. It really helps to brighten my mood. I also want it to be seasonal, so I’ve used leeks in this dish, which adds flavour as well as some prebiotics. Feel free to swap for any other cheese you have in the fridge. The sweet leeks …

It’s British Tomato Fortnight as well as being halfway through the British Asparagus season, so I’m combining the two to make a delicious pasta salad that is perfect either hot or cold. Remember, allowing your pasta to cool helps create resistant starch which is fibre fuel for your gut microbes! Serves 3 Ingredients Method
