Biona Organic Spelt Pasta with Spinach and Avocado

| September 29, 2013

I don’t like to eat too much wheat and try to keep it to only those times when I’m on the run and need to grab a quick sandwich. At home I buy Biona Organic Spelt Pastaand Biona Organic Rye Breadwhich Imogen and hubby both love, so we all enjoy the health benefits of eating spelt and less wheat. Spelt pasta is wholemeal and cooks in 5 minutes.

Last week I made Biona Organic Spelt Pastawith organic spinach and avocado. So simple. I just added a dash of pesto and a twist of ground pepper.

The finished product = wheat free, quick, healthy and delicious!
