Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until al dente according to the package instructions, 8 to 10 minutes. Reserve about 1 cup of the pasta water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and saute until softened, about 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and whisk in the goat cheese until smooth and warm. Season with pepper. Add the lemon zest and juice and half of the reserved pasta water and whisk until combined. Add half of the parsley, dill, mint and chives.
- Transfer the drained pasta to the skillet and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Turn off the heat, add 1/2 cup of the Pecorino Romano and stir to combine. Adjust the consistency of the sauce with the remaining pasta water if needed. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.
- Divide the pasta among bowls and garnish with the remaining Pecorino Romano, parsley, dill, mint and chives.

FALAFEL PITAS
I really enjoy falafel but I haven't had it since I started my weight loss 'journey' because when I get it at a takeaway shop I am never sure how they made it and how much oil has gone into frying it, etc. So, when I saw this recipe in the Autumn 2008 copy of BBC Easy Cook magazine, I decided to put it here so that I can learn to make my own.

Steps:
- Turn the grill/broiler to medium.
- Tip the chickpeas into a food processor or blender with the onion, carrots, garlic, cilantro, cumin, parsley and salt and pepper to taste.
- Whizz briefly so that you retain some of the chunky texture to the chickpeas.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into six burgers.
- Brush both sides of each burger with a little oil.
- Carefully place the burgers on to a grill/broiler pan lined with foil and grill/broil for 5 minutes on each side.
- Meanwhile, toast the pita breads and tear the lettuce into strips.
- Stuff the hot burgers into the pita breads.
- Add a small handful of torn lettuce and a few slices of cucumber.
- Serve drizzled with a spoonful of yogurt, if you wish.
