This high energy high fibre lunch is surprisingly high in protein. By combining fresh peas, legumes, with grain from the pasta, a complete protein is made. Add to that some yogurt and you have a meal with close to 20 grams of protein. For those wishing to reduce energy for weight loss can substitute the sheep's yoghurt with a low fat yoghurt.

Ingredients
300 grams fresh peas, shelled
2 large cloves garlic
2 large red chillies, finely sliced
¼ cup olive oil
