Tips

Choose wholemeal pasta rather than white for more fibre. We digest wholegrain food more slowly, so it can help us feel full for longer.
You can use any vegetables you have left over in your cupboard or fridge – you don’t have to go out and buy new ones just for this recipe!
Want to make this meal lighter? You don’t have to have the oatcakes with cheese – you can keep them for later or not eat them at all.
