Sprouting Broccoli Pasta - Good Diet Food

I hate diets and due to the fact that I am a little clumsy and busty, exercise isn't quite my favourite activity ever.  Let’s just say, jogging holds more challenges for me than some of my friends.  So, as I face another Christmas trying to find something flattering that doesn't resemble a hijab, I have joined nutracheck and am now on a calorie controlled diet.

So, I decided to try sprouting broccoli pasta –low calorie and apparently tasty. 

·         200g sprouting broccoli with stems removed and finely chopped

·         One large onion finely chopped

·         4 anchovy fillets

·         5ml sunflower oil

·         Chilli flakes

·         Garlic flakes

·         One lemon

·         100g pasta

·         Pepper

·         Salt

1. To save on pots, you cook the broccoli with the pasta.  So, pop the pasta in and about 5 minutes before it is al dente add the broccoli
2. At the same time chop the onion and fry lightly in sunflower oil
3. Add chilli and garlic flakes to taste.  If you have fresh garlic or chilli, you can add this instead but I had these to hand.
4. Once the onion has started to colour, add the anchovy fillets and stir until they have almost dissolved.
5. Drain the pasta broccoli mix when it is al denta and mix the onion mixture into the pasta.
6. Season with pepper, salt and lemon juice to taste
7. Eat smugly as you realise just how few calories it has

Now this is the type of diet food I could get used to

Yum
