Sneaky ways to add veg without anyone noticing.

This week: Pasta sauce

THIS recipe makes four servings and counts as two of your five-a-day per serving.

Finely chop 175g red pepper, 75g onion and 100g courgette, and saute in olive oil until tender. Blend the sauteed veg into a puree with a hand blender, then mix into a jar (around 300g) of tomato and basil pasta sauce.

Use as a sauce for a pasta of your choice, or in a lasagne. Tomato pasta sauce already counts as at least one of your five a day, but the extra veg turns it into two portions
