CREAMY PASTA WITH BROCCOLI, PEAS AND LEMON
A quick and delicious creamy pasta with a few tweaks to keep it healthy. Whole wheat pasta adds fibre and using reduced-fat crème fraîche keeps the calories down. You can add chopped cooked chicken or diced ham at the same time as the crème fraîche if you like. Add a splash of water and heat through until hot throughout.
