- Always choose vegetable or spelt pasta,
- leave out all the meat and tuna, and
- add loads of fresh vegetables.

Enjoy :-)

• 1 onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1 chili
• 5 fresh basil leaves
• 2-3 tbsp. cold-pressed olive oil
• Sea salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Cook vegetable or spelt pasta according to directions.

Cut tomatoes, bell pepper and zucchini in cubes and finely chop the onion, the garlic and the chili.

Heat olive oil in pan, adding onion, pepper, chili and garlic, and fry for a couple of minutes.

Then add the tomatoes and zucchini and cook for approx. 5-10 minutes.

Last but not least, add the basil and taste with pepper and salt.

Put pasta on plate, top with sauce and garnish if desired.

And finally - enjoy your delicious pasta!
