Did you hear that pasta brand, Barilla is rolling out plastic-free packaging across the UK? Gone are the days of the ubiquitous plastic window, now making their packaging 100% recyclable.
So to celebrate (and let's face it, we can't NOT think of pasta now), we're sharing one of our favourite vegan pasta sauce recipes (so you can avoid the pre-made ones that come in plastic)! It's quick, easy and packed with flavour and healthy omega 3 fats and iron - and will go perfectly with any type of pasta!
