- 1 tbsp tomato puree

- Prepare 1 litre of stock with bouillon and pour into the pot along with your pasta. Cook for 10-12 minutes or until the pasta is cooked. Remove from the heat.

- If you choose to add extra veggies such as spinach or peas, add this half way through cooking the pasta.
Greek yoghurt is a healthier swap to double cream which would usually be used in this recipe and similar recipes. Greek yoghurt is a good source of calcium, iodine and dairy and lower in saturated fat compared to cream supporting heart health and weight management.
