Benefits of the Key Ingredients
Gluten Free Spaghetti
Spaghetti provides long-lasting energy and makes this dish filling and satisfying. It acts as the perfect vehicle for the creamy tomato sauce, ensuring every bite is well coated and comforting.
Cherry Tomatoes
Cherry tomatoes add natural sweetness and freshness while providing vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants like lycopene, which supports heart and skin health.
Tomato Paste & Chopped Tomatoes
These concentrated tomato ingredients deepen the flavour while boosting lycopene intake. Lycopene is a powerful antioxidant linked to reduced inflammation and improved cardiovascular health.
Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Sun-dried tomatoes bring an intense umami flavour and natural sweetness. They’re rich in antioxidants and iron, helping add both taste and nutritional density to the dish.
Broccoli
Broccoli is packed with fibre, vitamin C, vitamin K, and plant compounds that support digestion, immunity, and hormone balance. Cutting it small allows it to soften perfectly while retaining bite.
Garlic
Garlic enhances savoury depth while supporting immune health and reducing inflammation. It also contributes to gut health and overall cardiovascular support.
Yellow Onion
Onion adds gentle sweetness and complexity while supporting digestion through natural prebiotic fibres.
Full-Fat Coconut Milk
Coconut milk creates a rich, creamy texture without dairy. Its healthy fats support satiety, hormone health, and the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins from the vegetables.
