Back from the gym and it was as hard as I thought it would be. I haven't been to bootcamp for such a long time. Even though it was hard and at times I couldn't move or breath, I'm glad I went.
obrigada
Fusili in a rich tomato, pepper + olive sauce
Serves 4. EE= 1 syn, G= 1 syn
Takes 45 minutes
1 Large onion, finely chopped
1 celery stick, finely chopped
3 peppers, deseeded and sliced (I finely chopped mine)
680g passata
olives
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp artificial sweetener
12 oz dried fusili
Put onion and celery in a large saucepan with frylight. Cook covered for 10 mins.
Add 4 fl oz of water and peppers, cook covered for 5 mins.
Pour passata and rinse jar with a little water and add to sauce.
Bring to the boil.
Stir in olives, add vinegar and artificial sweetner, season and cook partially covered (?) for 20 mins or until the sauce is thick.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta, drain and then mix with the sauce.
I also boiled some diced chicken and mixed that in as DH won't eat a meal with no meat in (well he did tonight but thats because I wasn't cooking anything else!)
I cooked Vegetable Lasagne tonight and it was quite nice. The only problem was, on the recipe it said 2x200g fromage frais (or low fat natural yogurt, I can't remember which)
well I decided to only add 1x200g so it was pretty dry by the time it came out of the oven. I'll definitely cook it again but it won't be as dry next time.
