We all need a few simple cheap meals up our sleeve. Here is a budget friendly delicious meal that I made with store cupboard ingredients and the vegetables I had left in my fridge. Since the @ryvita event I attended last week in London and having signed up to the #30in30 challenge, it’s really made me think about how much fibre I eat. The @guthealthdoctor really stressed the importance that diversity was key, that we should try and include an array of different fibres into our body. This pasta dish adds quite a few different types and will help you on your way to reaching 30g fibre per day.
