This pasta with turkey and roast veg is the perfect healthy comfort food dish that required minimal effort. It is naturally gluten free, dairy free and low fodmap! I love roasting tomatoes as it adds a rich tomato flavour to pasta without the labour of making a tomato sauce making perfect for mid-week meals! I used turkey to this dish to add protein but if you prefer not to use it, it is delicious without or replaced by tofu. I use tamari in a lot of my recipes as it provides a delicious savoury flavour to anything without needing to add salt or stock (which is often high fodmap). It may sound strange adding it to a pasta dish but I definitely recommend it!
