March Simple Swaps

Swap OUT Pasta Penne....

Swap IN Vetta Smart Fibre Pasta Penne.

Why?

I love and recommend many types of pasta - wholemeal and lentil are a couple of my favourites but for a simple swap that tastes exactly like the original it has to be Vetta Smart Fibre Pasta. It's Australian durum wheat semolina plus 3% oat fibre.

The oat fibre doubles the fibre content with no additional taste. It also comes in dinosaur shapes which the kids love!
