Creamy Five Vegetable and Salami Fusilli Pasta

Under $10 to serve six and packed full of vegetables and flavour from the salami this meal needs to be added to your families list of favourite dinners.

I have been able to get onion, capsicum, zucchini, sweet potato and tomato into this pasta dish and the kids didn’t blink an eyelid when eating it.  The trick was to process the vegetables prior to cooking and then to cook them down so they were soft and the sweet potato helped to make the sauce thick and smooth.  D’Orsogna Hungarian Salami (found at Woolworths for $6 – you only need half the packet for this meal) added so much flavour to meal and was a budget friendly meat option to add to the vegetables and pasta (and my boys never say no to salami so I knew it would be a winner).

The sauce will stick to the fusilli pasta as it is a nice tight spiral, making it perfect for this kind of sauce.
