Mongolian Beef Noodle – so many recipes on the interweb to choose from! This is my version – easy and straightforward. Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken and to add other veggies in to the mix, other than the peas and grated carrot – grated zucchini and finely grated cabbage are both lovely, diced mushrooms are great too and chopped broccoli soaks up the sauce for a burst of flavour. And make your own hoisin sauce – it’s SO worth it!

Marinara sauce is one of easiest tomato sauces you can make. My marinara takes less than a half hour to make and is a bit of a hybrid sauce in regards to flavour as I add onion, a bit of anchovy paste (easily omitted for a vegan or vegetarian marinara), both basil and oregano and I add parsley too. It is still lighter than a traditional tomato sauce and it is delicious!
