Using miso is a great way of adding depth of flavour to veggie and vegan dishes. This speedy spaghetti is perfect for one of your meat-free days

‘This is a twist on the classic dish Catalan spinach, using instead one of my favourite vegetables: purple sprouting broccoli. Served with fragrant toasted pine nuts, sweet sultanas and a garlicky extra-virgin olive oil, this dish is bright, colourful and super tasty, and pairs perfectly as a lighter element with the other more substantial components of the meal.’
