Swaps

Spelt pasta → wholemeal spelt pasta (more fibre). Beef mince → lean beef mince (less fat, similar protein). Tinned tomatoes → organic chopped tomatoes in a jar (often without additives). Olive oil → ghee (stable at high heat, fuller flavour).

Allergens

Contains gluten from the spelt. Usually suitable for children if seasoned mildly and the mince is cooked all the way through – which is also important during pregnancy.
