(low iodine) Serves 4
As pasta dishes go, this is as fresh and easy as they come. It’s super easy, super quick and is super versatile. It’s delicious as it is, but if you fancy something snazzy, just add your favourite ingredients.
This was one of my low iodine favourites and it’s endured the test of time. Even though my days of low iodine dieting are behind me (I hope!) this is still one of my go-to pasta dishes.
It’s as bright and colourful as it is fresh and delicious!
