Food: Fully loaded Veg Spelt Pasta

 
Fully loaded vegetable spelt pasta!
 

If like me, you love pasta but hate the effects of all the added carbohydrates, sugars etc then this dish may be as good to you as it has been to me :-)

I am trying to eat more veggies and fewer carbs, this dish is a great way to get in as many veggies as you can with half the carbs!

Ingredients

The next part is the fully loaded pasta sauce!

Roughly chop all the veggies into bite size pieces and leave to one side.
Fry shallots, garlic & chili in 1tbp of olive oil till soft, then add peppers & courgettes.
Next add all the spices, add the passata and bring to the boil.

When the meat free balls are almost done, add to the sauce and it's ready.
Add & mix the sauce & balls with the pasta and ENJOY!
