Deliciously Ella's Mediterranean Vegetable Spaghetti

She's done it again. Another masterpiece by Deliciously Ella.
Kicking off my final term of first year with this scrumptious recipe. 
I spend a lot of my time trawling the internet for meal inspiration on this tiny student budget. Deliciously Ella is often a website that I end up at, and rarely come away disappointed. 
I have no idea how I missed this recipe but I am so glad I found it.
This recipe is sooooo yummy and it smells amazing. 
At less than £1 per portion, full of veg and oh so colourful, its not one to miss.

Recipe (serves 2): 
Ingredients:
Spaghetti or other pasta (I used whole wheat)
2 tomatoes - 30p
A good handful of cherry tomatoes (about 10)- 30p
Mixed herbs - 1p
1 pepper - 30p
1 courgette - 50p
A generous tbsp of tomato puree - 5p
A good handful of spinach or about 4 frozen cubes - 20p
10 black olives cut in half - 25p

Total cost: £1.91

Method: 

  • Cut the big tomatoes and pepper into chunks and add to a saucepan with a glug of oil and a generous sprinkling of herbs.
  • Add the tomato puree and give a good stir.
  • When the sauce starts to disintegrate, add the cherry tomatoes cut into quarters and the courgette, sliced. Mix well. 
  • Start cooking the pasta
  • Add the cooked pasta to the sauce along with the olives and give a good stir so that it is nicely covered. 
  • Serve with extra olives, herbs or cherry tomatoes (or all 3!)
*** Top with a little basil if you want to look reaaal fancy ***
