Summer vegetable penne

An easy-going pasta recipe that’s full of veg too. To stretch the ingredients further, make another batch of the vegetable mix, cool, and fold through a can of drained Essential Lentils, then mix with bulgar, couscous, or rice. Pack into lunchboxes and scatter with the basil and cheese. Add a little harissa for kick.

Ingredients

  • 200g Essential Penne
  • 15g Essential Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Essential Courgette, halved lengthways and sliced
  • 200g Essential Cherry Tomatoes, halved
  • 1 Essential Sweetcorn, kernels stripped
  • 100g sugar snap peas, roughly chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1/2 x 25g pack basil, leaves only
  • 35g Essential Greek Light Salad Cheese, crumbled

Method

  1. Bring a pan of salted water to the boil and cook the pasta according to pack instructions. Meanwhile, heat a large frying pan over a high heat. Once hot, add the butter and swirl it around the pan until completely melted. Tip in the courgette, tomatoes, sweetcorn and sugar snaps, then sauté for 5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until golden and tender. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, then take the pan off the heat.

  2. Strain the pasta, reserving 50ml of pasta water. Add the pasta and water to the frying pan and toss well. Season. Shred the basil leaves, then scatter over the pasta, along with the salad cheese and serve immediately.

Cook’s tip

The less the vegetables are moved about the pan as they cook, the more caramelisation will occur – and that means deeper flavour. It’s also important to save adding any salt until the very end of cooking, or too much water will extract from the vegetables and leave them soggy.
