Pasta? I’m in.

I literally ate my body weight in food this weekend. My bf works away, so when is he home we like to make the most of it & one of our favorite things to do is go out and eat – a lot.

So after a weekend of good food and cocktails, it’s back to the salads for me. But it’s not all doom and gloom as this salad contains pasta and is ah-mazing (if I do say so myself).

And peaches. Peaches make everything taste good.

Orzo pasta works really well in salads, it only takes around 15 minutes to cook too. It is low in both fat/calories but provides a decent amount of protein.

BTW I recommend visiting Hakksan – I have eaten from the al a carte menu and now had brunch there too – lots of nice veggie/vegan options.
