Source of Recipe


weight watchers


List of Ingredients




2 Peppers - any colour (Green can taste bitter)0pts
80g of dried pasta (preferable twists)4pts
1 tblsp Green Pesto 1pt
Salt
Pepper
1 garlic clove
Fry Lite - free

Recipe



Turn the oven on high.

Cut the peppers into chunks, chop the garlic as small as you can (or use lazy garlic as I do!). Get a baking tray, spray with fry lite, put the peppers in the tray, add the chopped garlic, some salt & pepper and a bit more fry lite then give it all a big shake.

Pop this in the oven on high for about 15 - 20 mins, keep checking them, take them out when they are soft & slightly dark round the edges.

While the peppers are roasting boil 80g of dried pasta (in water with a little salt), the twists are better because the pesto covers all the nooks & crannies!

Once the pasta is cooked drain it off well, place in a bowl. Get 1 tablespoon of Pesto and mix thoroughly with the pasta until it is all covered.

Then add your roasted peppers to the pasta and mix well - and hey presto! A great filling & tasty lunch or dinner (depending on how many points you have!)
