I have also added things like veggie bakes or strips of cooked meat on top when I've wanted to add a bit extra, it is very versatile, however is still a really delicious Vegetarian meal as it is. Approx 400 cal per portion. Ingredients (for 2 people); - 150g fettucine or fresh tagliatelle
- 120g peas
- 100g asparagus, chopped into bitesize pieces
- 1 red onion, diced
- 15g butter
- Olive oil
- 10 cherry tomatoes, chopped in half
- Zest of 1 lemon + 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp/60g creme fraiche or Ricotta
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 50g Grated Parmesan or any cheese to sprinkle on top (optional)
- Basil leaves to garnish (optional)
Method (Takes approx 30 mins including prep); - Add the pasta to a large saucepan of lightly salted boiling water. Stir once, bring back to the boil and simmer for approx 12 minutes. Drain and leave to one side with a little olive oil drizzled over it so it doesn't stick together. Put the pan back on the heat for the third step.
- Meanwhile place the peas and asparagus in another pan and cover with boiling water, bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes, then drain.
- Using the large pan that you cooked the pasta in, fry the red onion in 15g butter and a dash of olive oil until soft.
- Add the cherry tomatoes, halved and cook for a further minute.
- Add to the pan the lemon zest, lemon juice, a further dash of olive oil, creme fraiche/ricotta and dijon mustard and stir well.
- Add the drained pasta, peas and asparagus into the large saucepan, mixing everything together and heating everything through.
- Serve with a sprinkling of Parmesan/cheese and basil leaves.
- Optional - top with slices of cooked meat or veggie oven bakes or garlic bread if you wish!
