Prawn, Mushroom, Kale and Chickpea Puttanesca Pasta

Let's talk pasta. Most pasta recipes use 75g per person. We’ve cut back on that and allotted 50g of pasta per serving to make room for more nutrient-d...ense foods—vegetables, legumes, and protein-rich prawns. Using chickpea or lentil pasta is an easy way to increase the fibre and protein, but feel free to use wholewheat pasta or whatever you have available. Read more Let's talk pasta.
