I’ve had so much fun joining in with Vicky’s Prose for Thought linky, that I thought I’d join in with another linky this week. This time Recipe of the Week which is run by the clever Emily at A Mummy Too.

This is a quick, healthy and comforting hot meal, that is versatile enough to adapt so you can make good use of any seasonal veg you might have lying around. Courgette/aubergine or squash/sweet potato would work just as well. You could add crispy bacon, small roasted onions or garlic for extra sweetness and flavour.

Serves: 4 adults or 2 adults & 2 kids

Cooking time: <30 mins

Ingredients

• 8 oz pasta shapes (I used radiattore, but fusilli or penne can easily be substituted)
• 2 medium carrots, sliced lengthways and chopped into bite sized chunks
• 4 oz mushrooms, quartered
• 1 red pepper, chopped into bite sized chunks
• 1 yellow pepper, as above
• Mixed herbs
• Garlic salt (or a few whole bulbs of fresh garlic if you prefer)
• Creme fraiche – 4 tbsps
• Tomato puree – 1 tbsp
• 1 pot feta cheese cubes

Method

1. Heat the oven to 200C (Fan 180C) and roast the veg in bite size pieces for 20 mins. Sprinkle over a little dried mixed herbs and garlic salt to season first.

2. Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of water to the boil and cook the pasta according to the instructions. Usually 10-12 minutes.

3. Drain the cooked pasta and mix in the creme fraiche and tomato puree.

4. Add the roasted vegetables and transfer to an oven proof dish.

5. Pop under a preheated grill for ten minutes or until the feta starts to soften.

6. Spoon into bowls and serve with a fresh green salad or even a cheeky glass of white wine!
