2 -3 tablespoons no-added-salt tomato paste
1 cup water
mixed herbs
1/2 cup gnocchi, cooked (optional)
1/2 cup frozen peas and corn (optional)
1/4 cup chickpeas, drained (optional)
2 tablespoons low fat cottage cheese (optional)
salt and pepper

Preparation

Place gnocci (or any other cooked pasta) in a bowl with frozen veggies/beans. Pour in tomato paste and mixed herbs.
Pour on water and mix well. Taste for desired consistancy.
Microwave on med-high, until bubbly and heated through.
Top with cottage cheese and pepper. I needed no salt.
I also added 1 tbsp of my mum's home-made spicy tomato sauce. Its a very flexible recipe.
