1. 1

   Prep everything first: wash and trim the peppers and mushrooms, then measure out the sauce ingredients.

2. 2

   Cook the wholewheat pasta in salted boiling water for 10-12 minutes until al dente; save a splash of pasta water.

3. 3

   Slice the halloumi and dry-fry in a griddle pan for 2 minutes per side until charred.

4. 4

   Gently fry the garlic in the olive oil, add the chopped tomatoes and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rich. Tear in the basil at the end.

5. 5

   Meanwhile, steam or stir-fry the peppers and mushrooms for 3-5 minutes until just tender with a little bite.

6. 6

   Build the plate: wholewheat pasta first, then the veg and halloumi, spooning over any remaining sauce. Finish with the parmesan.

7. 7

   Bulking upgrade: add the mozzarella, olive oil for extra energy-dense calories.
