]]> Sometimes I like to have pasta, not often but sometimes when I am super busy, it is just an easy meal to make.

I had some leftover zucchini and basil which needed to be used up so I whipped up a pesto, cooked the zucchini and pasta and enjoyed this tasty, filling lunch on the go.

Zucchini (or courgette) contains a good amount of insoluble fibre which helps promote good digestion and enables food to move more easily through the digestive tract. And basil is great for boosting your immune system. So overall the good outweighs the pasta in this recipe.

A fantastic alternative to sandwiches, a nice filling lunch without the dreaded bloating.

You can also add chicken breast to this recipe to bulk it out a little, but the salad version is enough for a light lunch.

Servings1 person+
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Chop and prepare the salad veg.
  2. Carefully peel two of the wraps out of the packet. These can sometimes stick so I keep mine in the fridge and peel them apart gently with a spatula.
  3. Spread a dollop of vegan (or normal) mayo around the wrap, leaving about 1 cm around the edge.
  4. Add the salad leaves, then ½ of the salad veg in the centre of the wrap.
  5. Sprinkle with pine nuts and black pepper if desired.
  6. Gently fold up each end of the wrap and then roll up the middle, grabbing the inside as you go to create a sausage shape. This can take a bit of practise but should prevent everything from falling out the ends when you eat it.
  7. Cut in half diagonally, serve and enjoy!
