Start your week with a quick and comforting meal that has both rice and pasta in one bowl (and is still healthy!). Koshari is Egypt’s national dish; traditionally vegan, it’s filled with lentils, herbs and spices. We’ve upped the protein by adding shredded chicken and served it with juicy cherry tomatoes for a touch of summer.&nbsp;&nbsp;


<h2>TUESDAY – WATERMELON AND HALLOUMI FATTOUSH&nbsp;</h2>

Serves: 4 Ready in: 25 mins Price per serve: £1.27 Recipe info: Vegetarian, Egg-free, Faff Factor 2/5, 2 of your 5-a-day, High Protein
We’ve turned Fattoush – a traditional side salad from Lebanon – into a filling main by bulking it out with salty, pan-fried <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/great-ways-to-eat-halloumi" target="_blank">halloumi</a> and crunchy croutons for a tasty textural contrast. Leafy greens are flecked with pops of pink and purple from the watermelon and onion, with a scattering of mint leaves for a fresh finish. Heads up; this would also make an impressive salad <a href="https://www.asda.com/good-living/article/bbq-side-dishes" target="_blank">sharer for your next barbecue</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;


<h2>WEDNESDAY – CREAMY SWEET POTATO PASTA&nbsp;</h2>

Serves: 4 Ready in: 25 mins Price per serve: £0.59 Recipe info: Vegetarian, 1 of your 5-a-day, Live Better, Faff Factor 2/5, Source of Fibre
This sweet potato spaghetti recipe is pure comfort in a bowl. Sweet potato, soft cheese and cheddar are blitzed into a velvety sauce that clings to every strand of pasta. You can use up any leftover cheese in your fridge instead of cheddar like Parmesan or a vegetarian hard cheese to make this meal even more budget-friendly.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;


<h2>THURSDAY – JERK PORK WITH GREEN RICE&nbsp;</h2>
