Asparagus and Smoked Salmon Farfalle

Recipe by: Myra

This is a light summery pasta salad that I love because the flavours go so well together. Lemon juice and a drizzle of good olive oil finish everything off nicely. It does taste best when chilled for 1 or 2 hours.

These stuffed peppers, filled with thin noodles in a savoury custard, make an ideal first course to serve 4, or a light vegetarian lunch for 2 served with an assortment of salads and plenty of warm bread. Any colour of pepper suggested can be used, but avoid green peppers which are not as sweet.

The simple Oriental technique of stir-frying is perfect for preparing meals in a hurry. It is also a great healthy cooking method because it uses just a small amount of oil and cooks vegetables quickly so that most of their beneficial vitamins and minerals are preserved.

Here strips of tender steak are coated in an intensely flavoured mixture, then stir-fried and tossed with vegetables and buckwheat noodles to make an all-in-one supper dish. The Japanese ingredients – nori, wasabi, soba and dashi powder – are available from large supermarkets, health food shops and Oriental food stores.

One-pot steak and pasta casserole

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

Slim pasta spirals called fusilli are delicious cooked in a casserole of beef and vegetables. The dried, uncooked pasta is added towards the end of the cooking time so that it retains its al dente texture while still absorbing the savoury flavours of the meat, vegetables and oregano in the rich stew.

Penne rigati with sesame and orange dressing

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

This fresh-flavoured pasta salad is ideal as a side dish with grilled chicken or firm fish, such as fresh tuna or swordfish. It makes a healthy change from noodles dressed with oil or butter and Parmesan cheese.

Piquant pasta and tuna salad

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

The dressing for this simple, colourful salad has a sweet-sour flavour, which perfectly complements the lightly cooked courgette, tuna, tomatoes and al dente pasta. Serve the salad cool, but not chilled, or try it while it is still warm. Mini pitta bread is good served alongside, to mop up the dressing.

Grilled vegetables are delicious with chunky pasta in a tangy dressing. Serve this salad as a light lunch or offer it as an accompaniment for grilled poultry or meat, when it will serve 6 or 8.

Sesame pork and noodle salad

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

With its typical Chinese flavours – ginger, sesame, soy sauce and rice vinegar – this salad makes a delectable lunch or supper dish. It is very nutritious as most of the vegetables are raw. For the best effect, cut the pepper, carrot and spring onions about the same thickness as the noodles.

Tagliatelle with green sauce

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Be the first to review it!

This simple vegetable and yogurt sauce is ready in as little time as it takes to cook and drain the fresh pasta. It is bursting with fresh flavours and irresistibly creamy, but without the heaviness of a classic cream sauce for pasta. A salad of crisp radicchio and Lollo Rosso lettuce is a good accompaniment.

Thai beef noodle soup

Recipe by: Azmina Govindji

Reviews(1)

Bursting with flavour, this main-course beef soup is packed with vegetables and noodles. If you can't get fresh lime leaves easily, they are available in jars at some supermarkets. You can eat the noodles, beef and vegetables with chopsticks, then enjoy the soup with a spoon.
