Ingredients

• 200g organic wholewheat spelt pasta
• 1 can organic cannellini beans
• 1 very ripe mango, flesh chopped, juice retained
• 1 cup organic shallots, finely diced
• 8 organic cherry tomatoes, diced
• 2 cups organic snow peas, thinly sliced julienne, 2cm thick
• 1 cup organic fresh coriander

Method

1. Add 2 litres of water, some olive oil and a pinch of salt into a stainless steel pan and bring to the boil.
2. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until just al dente.
3. Finely chop the vegetables and add to a large bowl.
4. Wash and drain the can of cannellini beans and add them to the bowl of chopped vegetables.
5. Remove the skin from the mango and add the flesh sliced thinly, ensuring all the juice is squeezed from the seed and added to the vegetable bowl (do this over the bowl so it captures all the mango juice). Ensure to use a very ripe mango that is very juicy, as the juice of the mango provides the "sauce" for this recipe.
6. Add the drained pasta to the vegetable bowl.
7. Roughly chop the coriander and add to the vegetable bow.
8. Mix everything together in the bowl and serve immediately.
