Tomato & Mascarpone Pasta
This is my family-friendly take on the viral Feta & Tomato Pasta recipe that you have no doubt seen before. Unlike the Tik-Tok recipe, I have swapped the feta for Mascarpone, which reduces the salt content, making it a better option for those on a low salt diet as well as for small children (including weaning infants). This is simplicity at it's best- a super quick, cheap midweek meal you will make over and over again!
