Green Halloumi Pasta

Let me introduce you to one of my many lazy meals. I pretty much throw in whatever I have at home so feel free to remove or add anything you find appropriate. Lazy food isn't such a bad thing as long as the basic foods in your cupboard are somewhat nutritious and tasty, that way it's never hard to make a decent meal. For instance, in this house you'll always find beans, fresh and frozen vegetables, eggs and nuts.

Pasta with green vegetables, halloumi and lemon juice
Cooking time: 10-12 min
Serves 1

50g wholegrain fusilli
80g (about 1/3 of a standard packet) halloumi
5 spring onions
4 spears of asparagus 
1/3 chilli
3 chunks of frozen spinach
1/2 tin of kidney beans (or peas if you don't have beans)
1/2 lemon
Olive oil
Black pepper and/or chilli powder

Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the fusilli.
Chop the spring onion and chilli finely, the asparagus into 1-2 cm pieces and the halloumi into cubes.
Put olive oil in a medium hot pan and add the chopped ingredients. Add the spinach, beans and black pepper, and stir.
When the pasta is ready, mix it with the other ingredients.
Squeeze the lemon juice over and serve.
