Pasta with Roasted Peppers and Coriander and Chilli Pesto
Something a little different - a spicy dish for pasta, or you can use gluten free noodles. This recipe allows for 4 servings of the sauce, so if you only need 1/2 servings you can freeze some for another day. This recipe includes chilli which will help with the pain of endometriosis, as chilli has pain-relieving properties.
