Don't let anyone dictate you won't get enough of your five-a-day
when there is this all in one dish.
Five-a-day Sausage, Apple, Spaghetti
Cut 2 good quality sausages into bite sized pieces and dice 1 large shallot and 3" piece leek. Place in a microwavable dish along with 1 large thin sliced brocolli floret, 2" pieces each of sliced red, green and orange peppers, 3 diced garlic cloves and 1 green chilli. Add a lid and microwave for 4 minutes. If you have chosen a too fatty sausage you will have to drain off the fat.
Stir in 1 tbsp wholemeal plain flour, add 1 quartered large tomato, 1 tbsp red ketchup, 1 diced apple, 8 sticks of uncooked wholewheat spaghetti snapped into 2" pieces, 1 handful of baby spinach, a 1" round of aubergine cut into long slices, 1tsp each dried oregano and basil, freshly ground black pepper and half pt stock mixing well.
Lid on a microwave for 15 minutes stirring halfway through cooking time.
Sprinkle on a handful of fresh parsley to serve.
Large strawberries are in season now and I followed this dish with a simple bowl of strawberries with a sprinkling of balsamic vinegar which really brings out the flavoursome sweetness of the strawberries.
