Ingredients
  

  • Plenty of low-oxalate vegetables sliced
  • Onion sliced
  • Mushrooms sliced
  • 1 –2 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 –2 tbsp basil thyme or oregano, to taste
  • 4 tbsp olive oil ghee or your favourite fat
  • Pea or lentil pasta
  • Bacon chicken, tuna, prawns or another protein of your choice
  • A little pasta cooking liquid

Method
 

  1. Slice the vegetables, onion and mushrooms, and chop the garlic.
  2. Cook the pea or lentil pasta according to the packet instructions, reserving a little cooking liquid.
  3. Heat the olive oil, ghee or other fat. Sauté a protein that needs cooking, such as bacon or chicken, until browned.
  4. Add the vegetables and garlic and sauté for 5–10 minutes, until softened.
  5. Add a little pasta cooking liquid, cover and simmer for a few minutes.
  6. Add the drained pasta, herbs and cream, yoghurt or coconut milk.
  7. If using a quick-cooking or ready-cooked protein such as tuna, prawns or cooked chicken, add it near the end.
  8. Finish with grated Parmesan or nutritional yeast.

Notes

Ro’s aim is a generous proportion of nutrient-rich vegetables to pasta. Make it your own with the greens and protein you enjoy.
