Quinoa Jambalaya with Soya Strips & Spinach

It’s really important to have a back up for when you don’t feel like cooking & you’ve run out of homemade freezer portions, and to don’t need to compromise your nutrition to do so.

This is my favourite frozen steam meal from Aldi’s. It costs £1.49 and takes 9mins in the microwave.

Just add a fistful of spinach or any salad, and you’re good to go!

Spinach & Red Pepper Penne

Serves 2

200g pasta

2tbsp cooking oil

1 onion

2 vegetable stock cubes

2tbsp tomato purée

1 red pepper

1 tin chopped tomato’s

2 large fistfuls of spinach

Salt

Pepper

Cook & drain pasta without shaking off excess water, set aside.

Fry onion in oil, add stock cubes & continue to fry for a minute. Add peppers & fry for a few minutes before stirring in tomato purée, then add chopped tomato’s. Simmer & reduce for 20-30mins.

Stir in pasta, mix well. Add spinach & cover to steam for 5mins. Stir in wilted spinach & serve.
