Method

  1. Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook onion, garlic, paprika, zucchini and broccoli, stirring for 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Add the spinach; cook, stirring until wilted. Stir in the lemon juice. Blend or process vegetable mixture until smooth. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Heat the pasta following packet directions.
  3. Toss the sauce and pasta together in a bowl. Serve with parmesan, if you like. For adults, try adding spices or fresh chilli.

*Slim pasta is made from a vegetable called konjac, which is low in kilojoules and carbohydrates.
