Sometimes life calls for pasta. Well, my life anyway. Pasta used to be a far more regular thing in my house until I realised that there are way more nutrient dense options out there.
The real truth is, my family doesn’t hugely dig ‘zoodles’ (zucchini noodles that you make with a spiraliser) so sometimes it’s just going to be a pasta day. I buy Spelt Pasta from the supermarket – it’s more expensive so I make it a real treat to eat it.
Hence this dish…
If you’re not into dairy – look away! It’s rich and indulgent. And the kids ate it – kale and all. THAT’S how good it is! Enjoy x
