Heat a few sprays of low-calorie cooking spray in a large saucepan on medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic and cook for about 2-3 min, until translucent.

Add tomato paste and paprika then cook until softened or a sauce-like consistency is formed, about 3-4 min.

Now add peas, carrot, and courgette and stir-fry for about a minute until they start to soften.

Add the vegetable stock and bring mixture to boil.

Add the pasta and season with salt, pepper and herbs and mix well.

Cover the pot and cook for about 6 min or depending on the instructions given on the pasta.

Once done remove the pot from the heat.

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and shredded parmesan if required and serve warm.
