Comforting home food is sometimes just what you need. But if you're worried a big plate of pasta might ruin your diet why not try making it fresh.
I made butternut squash ravioli and topped it with fresh tomato sauce (made with onion, garlic, basil and tinned tomatoes) and fresh cod.

Some people worry making pasta would be difficult. It really isn't if you are willing to put a little bit of time in.
I made lots of fresh pasta, separated it into dough balls and froze a couple. That way when I fancied fresh pasta I could take it out of the freezer, defrost it, roll it out and cook it. It takes minutes when it's fresh.
This meal was indulgent, the right amount of heavy and comforting as pasta should be, but packed with goodness.
Butternut squash is great for you, combined with the tomato sauce and cod this meal was packed with protein, vitamin A and C.
I recommend it to anyone. For the method see my recipe page.
