Best dinner yet!

Oh, that was good!  As is common, I had no idea when I went out into the kitchen what I was going to cook for myself for dinner.  But I happened upon the pack of wholegrain spelt spaghetti that I bought from Sainsbury and that decided me.

I chopped and briskly fried (in a little garlic-infused olive oil) half an organic onion and a big handful of organic button mushrooms  When almost cooked I added half an organic red pepper, sliced, half a tin of chickpeas and half a jar of commercial tomato cook-in sauce, and simmered. Meanwhile I boiled the spaghetti, then about 4 minutes before the end of cooking, I added three big leaves of organic dark spring greens cut into ribbons, to sit on top of the spaghetti and steam under the lid.  Just before serving I stirred a couple of dessertspoons of low-fat hummus into the sauce to make it creamy, and poured it over the spaghetti/greens mix.

It was *far* better than I expected.  The lemon in the hummus really zinged up the greens, which I'll have to remember because I usually use vinegar.  I would happily serve this to someone else, and there's not many things I cook that I'd say that about!
