Organic Spelt Pasta with Tuna and Spinach

| November 13, 2013

My favourite kind of lunch or dinner is fast, healthy and always organic. Last night I made Organic Spelt Pasta with tinned tuna and organic spinach. This is a healthy family meal that can be made in just over 5 minutes.

The Biona Organic Fusili Spelt Pastacooks in just 5 minutes, I boiled the spinach for 20 seconds to retain as many nutrients as possible, opened a tin of tuna in spring water and stirred in a little organic olive oil.

I also buy Biona Organic Rye Breadwhich Imogen and hubby both love, so we all enjoy the health benefits of eating spelt and less wheat. Another of my favourite combinations is Organic Spelt Penne Pasta with Spinach and Avocado.

Delicious and nutritious!

Roast Beetroot

| October 17, 2013

I love grating raw beetroot into salads but with the cold weather I’ve been craving warmer foods. A few days ago I made roast beetroot using delicious organic beetroot from Waitrose. To get the full sweetness and nutritional goodness I simply roast beetroot in a little olive oil. Roast beetroot has an intensified sweet flavour that’s delicious.

Gently wash and slice the beetroot into wedges. Toss in a little olive oil.

Roast at 180 C for approximately 40 minutes or until soft. Serve as a starter, eat as a snack, add to a salad or accompany the beetroot with your main meal.
