Roasted Leek and Pumpkin Penne - Vegan, Gluten Free

Back to organic, locally grown, simple, quick meals that are so delicious and incredibly nourishing! I'm a bit of a sensitive soul when it comes to food, smells, sounds, toxins, energies. My body suffered with being unsettled in transit across the world recently, eating here, there and everywhere. Finding @perth_organics I'm back to my roots.
