This dish is full of flavour, but also low in fat and calories, so it is perfect for those who are trying to get back on track with their fitness goals. It has all the flavours of pizza without the unhealthy fat content that usually accompanies it.

- 250g chestnut or large flat mushrooms

- 400g self-raising flour
- 320g frozen spinach, defrosted
- 400g tin plum tomatoes
- 125g grated mozzarella
- 30g fresh basil

Method:
Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Peel and trim the mushrooms (save the stalks for soups) and place on a 35 x 25cm flameproof baking tray with the garlic. Peel and quarter the onion, break into petals and scatter onto the tray. Drizzle with 1 tbsp oil and bake for 20-25 mins until soft.
Meanwhile, mix the flour, a pinch of sea salt and 240ml cold water into a dough, then knead on a flour-dusted surface for 2 mins, adding a little extra flour if needed. Carefully place the mushrooms, onion and garlic on a board. Squeeze any water from the spinach, then toss in the tray juices.
Drizzle 1 tbsp oil onto the tray and lay in the dough, pressing and pulling it to fill the corners and up the sides. Drain the tomatoes (reserving the juice) and scrunch them over the dough, season, then sprinkle over the spinach, onion and mozzarella. Leave whole, chop or tear the mushrooms, then scatter on top, squeezing over the roasted garlic, to taste. Pour a little tomato juice around the mushrooms, then place the tray over a high heat until the base starts to sizzle. Bake on the highest oven shelf for 15 mins or until golden and crisp. Pick over the basil leaves, drizzle with balsamic, if you like, and serve.
Tip: To make the most of mushrooms roast them with garlic as in the recipe and use in meals for today, tomorrow and into next week. Stir into a risotto, or turn into a pasta bake with tomato sauce and some grated mozzarella or keep for longer and blitz with chicken or vegetable stock to make soup and freeze.

Minestrone soup is a hearty soup that originated in Italy. This dish has a green pesto sauce, which is traditionally made from basil leaves, garlic, olive oil and pine nuts. Minestrone soup can be served with grated cheese on top or with bread as a side dish to soak up the broth.
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- ½ red pepper, chopped
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced
- 1 vegetable stock cube, made up to 500ml
- 50g spaghetti, broken into pieces
- 400g Tesco Finest cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp oregano
- 250g frozen soya beans, defrosted
- 2 tsp green pesto
- ground black pepper
- Parmigiano cheese, grated, to serve
Method:
Heat the oil in a pan over a medium heat and gently cook the onion, pepper and carrot for around 5 minutes until starting to brown.
Add the stock and bring to the boil. Then reduce the heat, add the spaghetti and cook for 6-7 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, oregano and soya beans and bring back to a gentle boil, stirring regularly.
Check the pasta is cooked, then spoon the soup into bowls. Add a dollop of pesto to each, then sprinkle with ground black pepper and grated Parmigiano cheese.

This soup is a perfect starter for Christmas Day and can be made in advance. The celeriac and hazelnut combination gives it a deliciously light, sweet flavor that will leave your guests feeling satisfied but not heavy.
Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- small bunch thyme
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 fat garlic clove, chopped
- 1 celeriac (about 1kg), peeled and chopped
- 1 potato (about 200g), chopped
- 1l veg stock (check the label to ensure it’s vegan – we used Marigold)
- 100ml soya cream
- 50g blanched hazelnuts, toasted and roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp truffle oil, plus an extra drizzle to serve
Method:
In a large saucepan, heat the oil over a low heat. Tie the thyme sprigs and bay leaves together with a piece of string and add them to the pan with the onion and a pinch of salt. Cook for about 10 mins until softened but not coloured.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min more, then tip in the celeriac and potato. Give everything a good stir and season with a big pinch of salt and white pepper. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil, then simmer for around 30 mins until the vegetables are completely soft.
Discard the herbs, then stir through the cream, remove from the heat and blitz until completely smooth. Stir through 1/2 tbsp truffle oil at a time and taste for seasoning – the strength of the oil will vary, so it’s better to start with less oil and add a little at a time.
To serve, reheat the soup until piping hot, then ladle into bowls and top with the hazelnuts, some black pepper and an extra drizzle of truffle oil.
