Filling pasta

Brown pasta, aka wholewheat or whole grain, is great at keeping you fuller for longer as it contains more fibre than the white counterpart.
Creamy pasta with broccoli, peas and lemon
by Justine Pattison

A quick and delicious creamy pasta with a few tweaks to keep it healthy. Whole wheat pasta adds fibre and using reduced-fat crème fraîche keeps the calories down. You can add chopped cooked chicken or diced ham at the same time as the crème fraîche if you like. Add a splash of water and heat through until hot throughout.
