Ingredients
140g lighter halloumi (Aldi) - cut into cubes
10 black pitted olives (Aldi) - halved
30g sundried tomatoes - Finley chopped
10 vine ripe cherry tomatoes - halved
2 garlic cloves - crushed
150g courgette - finely sliced and cubed
300g tomato passatta
Half tsp sugar
5 basil leaves - finely sliced
300g of COOKED spaghetti pasta (approx 150g dried) I weighted out cooked pasta then added
Method
In a frying pan brown your halloumi. I used 1kcal spray to keep the oil calories down.
Once browned remove from pan to a plate and keep to the side.
Add cherry tomato halves to your pan and sautee (low heat) for 2 mins. Remove and add to plate with halloumi chunks.
Put pasta on to boil now.
In your pan add crushed or finely sliced garlic and courgettes to pan and stir fry for a few mins until the courgette starts to soften.
Then add passatta, sundried tomatoes, olives, paprika, sugar and basil and simmer for 10 mins. I added salt and pepper at this stage too.
Drain pasta. Weight out to 300g cooked. Add to sauce. Add cherry tomatoes and halloumi chunks mix well and serve!
