Organic Spelt Pasta with Tuna and Spinach
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!
