Tom Berry Tomato Pasta. Delicious, healthy, vegan and filling! Very quick to make and perfect for a weeknight meal.
What is a tom berry tomato you ask? Well, do you see those teeny tiny baby tomatoes in my pasta? That’s a Tom Berry tomato!
I’ve cooked it with some pasta made with a tomato sauce from a variety of grape and cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, and garlic oil. It’s so delicious and super quick to make because the capellini pasta only takes 3 minutes to boil!
This meal is so good for those nights after a long day at work and you want something quick and delicious to eat without having to invest too much time.

On a Personal Note
Recently I watched the documentary series Our Planet on Netflix. It was incredibly shot and so educational – teaching how climate change impacts individual species and ecosystems. It reminded me of why I started this blog three years ago. I remember that moment in the kitchen when my husband told me about the permafrost melting at a rapid rate releasing potent greenhouse gases that will deteriorate our ozone layer at a faster speed. We would see devastating consequences in 2040. That’s in our lifetime!
Since then I’ve been trying to spread the word on sustainability by living it where I can without compromising my health. I even went vegan for a few months and vegetarian for a year but that didn’t go too well for my health. So I only consume organic poultry and wild caught seafood (as they release the least amount of greenhouse gases) in the required amount to sustain good health. I have reduced and shifted my buying habits to support companies that are organic, local, non GMO, fair trade, ethical, non toxic or eco-friendly because money talks. I also don’t support fast fashion. But I’m not perfect and I’m still working on being sustainable where possible.
I truly encourage you all to watch Our Planet. I don’t mean to scare you but time is running out and we can’t rely on the government to make change if we have the power to. Even a small change would help. If you’re interested in learning more on how you can lower your carbon emissions please click here.
