We were going to have salad for dinner last night but after a busy early evening I needed some carbs too so made this quick and tasty pasta dish. Literally just takes as long to make as the pasta does to cook. I used chilli-infused oil for the heat - chilli flakes or cayenne pepper would work too - and natural yoghurt for the tang.

Born in the UK. Came to Spain on finishing Uni many many moons and meals ago, and I'm still here. For me cooking is a great way to unwind at the end of the day. I don't usually have much time my recipes tend to be quite quick and simple and (mostly!!) healthy too. Also quite seasonal because I prefer buying fresh local produce as much as possible. However sometimes, when I do have more time, I like to spend a few hours making more time-consuming recipes and filling my kitchen with delicious smells and great music.
