Egyptian lentils with macaroni

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Reviews(1)

For Egypt's vegetarians this highly spiced dish is a protein staple. On their own, lentils do not contain a lot of protein, but combined with the wheat in the pasta, they make a good protein dish that is low in fat.

This recipe comes from my Italian grandmother. It was always one of my favourites. It's best if you chill it overnight.

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Here's proof that pasta sauce doesn't need meat to be hearty. Rosemary and garlic-flavoured tomato juice thickened with mashed beans makes a light sauce that nicely coats this elegant but easy spinach penne.

Hearty Minestrone Soup

This soup is warming, filling and delicious. It tastes best when you use fresh vegetables and herbs. If you like, you can replace the kidney beans with cannellini beans.

Laseyona

Recipe by: Andi

Be the first to review it!

Passed down from my mum from a friend of my dad's, the late Mark Lasey. They went round for a dinner after the pub one night and all he had was mushrooms, onions, minced beef, baked beans and pasta that could have gone together as a dish. The dish was a success and we have now perfected it as a favourite family dish and have named it Laseyona after my dad's dear friend.

This highly spiced dish from Egypt is perfect for vegetarians because it is so rich with protein, due to the combination of lentils and pasta. You'll love the interesting texture and mix of flavours.

Introduce vegetables to old favourites for up-to-the-minute healthy family meals. This well-loved pasta dish is delicious with mushrooms, peas and peppers added. Using a small amount of powerful Roquefort cheese ensures that the sauce is creamy and full flavoured, but not too high in fat.

Pasta and cannellini bean gratin

Recipe by: syd

Be the first to review it!

If you first cook the pasta, and then use the same pot to cook the beans, you will only need one pot and a baking dish to make this meal. To save time, cook the pasta and the beans in different pots at the same time, and use prepared pesto instead of fresh basil and Parmesan.

Pasta with potato, beans and pesto

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

This is a traditional Ligurian dish that is usually made with potatoes, green beans and baby broad beans. Here, broccoli and courgettes boost the green vegetable content. The pesto sauce used to dress the pasta and vegetables is lighter than most, but still packs a wonderful flavoursome punch.

Penne primavera

Recipe by: Norma MacMillan

Be the first to review it!

This classic Italian dish is intended to make the very most of young spring produce, freshly picked from the vegetable plot. With today's choice of vegetables in supermarkets, the selection can be varied for year-round meals, and the recipe can also be made as a ‘storecupboard supper’ with good-quality frozen vegetables.
