]]> 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.

]]> Yes, you can still enjoy a proper Yorkshire pudding even if you’re avoiding dairy and gluten – and this version proves it. Made with eggs, a gluten-free flour blend, and oat milk (or your preferred plant-based milk), these puffed-up beauties are light, golden, and far easier on the gut than their traditional counterparts.

Eggs provide gentle, gut-healing protein, while the flour blend and plant milk offer a low-irritant alternative that’s ideal for those managing IBS-related diarrhoea. Baked in a hot oven with a splash of oil or beef dripping, they crisp up beautifully without the need for milk or wheat. Perfect for pairing with roast dinners or using as a savoury brunch base – a comfort food classic, made IBS-friendly.
