Ingredients
Bag of lettuce (baby spinach or mixed baby leaves) x 1
Capsicums (red, yellow or orange) x 2–3 depending on how many you like and how cheap they are
Fresh mint (x 1 handful chopped)
Fresh basil (x 1 handful chopped)
Fresh parsley (x 1 handful chopped)
Lemon (x 1, juice and zest)
Olive oil (approx 50ml)
Cheese (whichever you like but I’d recommend grated tasty or crumbled feta) x a good shake
Spaghetti (dried, enough for however many you’re feeding)
Method
Cook the pasta as per packet instructions.
While cooking the pasta, zest and juice the lemon then mix with the olive oil.
Chop up the capsicums, parsley, basil and mint, then dump into a big bowl with the bag of lettuce.
Pour on the lemon/oil dressing then mix well.
Once the spaghetti is cooked serve it up on plates, share out the salad then sprinkle with cheese.
Delish!
Alternatives
Want it meaty? Goes well with pretty much any meat apparently.
Want it gluten free? Use GF spaghetti
Want it dairy free? Don’t add the cheese and make sure the pasta is dairy free.
Bonus ingredient. My lovely sister-in-law Sarah adds a chopped fresh red chilli to give it some extra kick. Yum!

No idea where this one came from. It’s so old I can’t remember.
