Storage: You can simply store this pasta in the fridge and reheat it the next day, but the best way would be to store the vegetables with the sauce separately from the pasta.All these vegetables would also work well. You could also use: tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, onion, spinach, carrots. There are no hard rules here, the most important is that the vegetables are not overcooked and crunchy. Add other vegetables: You can literally use any vegetables you have on hand.Stir everything together, add more salt and pepper if necessary. Add all the other ingredients: cooked pasta and vegetables, Parmesan cheese. Fresh, small peas will need about 20 seconds, frozen peas about a minute.Ĩ. Add the chard stems and cook until they soften, a minute or 2, then add the leaves, cover, and cook until. Season the sauce with lemon juice, salt and pepper.ħ. Cook 1 chopped onion in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium heat, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add the cream and lemon zest, cook for a couple of minutes, it should slightly thicken. Cook the broth for a couple of minutes, it should thicken a bit.Ħ. Make sure to scrape all the brown bits from cooking the vegetables that are at the bottom of the pan. Cook for about 30 seconds, then add the broth. Add a tablespoon of butter to the pan and thinly sliced garlic. It’s very important that the vegetables are not overcooked, just cook them briefly until browned but still crunchy. It’s best to cook them in batches, if they’re not overcrowded in a pan, they will brown nicely, which gives them lots of flavor. I cook them in the same pot, cook the pasta according to the package instructions, thin green beans need about 4-5 mins cooking time, thicker beans about 5-6 minutes.ģ.


Pasta – originally this dish was made with spaghetti pasta but I think bigger pasta is much better, it has a similar size to the vegetables.I used: asparagus, green beans, peas, bell pepper, and zucchini.
PASTA PRIM CRACK
Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and a final crack of pepper. To serve, spoon into bowls and top with the parmesan, pine nuts, rocket and pinch of chilli flakes.Season well and stir through the lemon zest and juice and herbs.

Whilst the pasta cooks, melt the butter in a large pan over a medium heat. Next add the pasta to the water and cook for 4-6 minutes, to the desired bite.Swiftly remove with a slotted bowl and place in a bowl of ice water to preserve the colour and texture. Add a generous pinch of salt, then blanch the asparagus, courgettes and peas for 2 minutes. Over a medium heat, bring a large saucepan of water to the boil.
