Carrot pepper pasta

Serves 4 | Prep 10 mins | Cook 10 mins

Easy pasta recipes are a thing we all need to get on board with, whether you have kids, a large family, a tight budget or are incredibly time poor, or, like me, all of the above. In which case, this recipe is perfect. Made out of tinned carrots and flavoured to the nines, this simple sauce is stirred through with pasta, peas and prawns. It’s bright and delicious, but most of all, quick!
