Sometimes it seems I mostly post about baking, and desserts. It's not that that's all I eat, but I think I don't try as much new food as I did before - mostly because I don't have much time (nor the energy) to cook a lot at the moment. I'm sure it'll be back to normal eventually.
And I do try SOME new things. Like this lovely pasta that I found in BBC Good Food recently! It's deliciously lemony (I read the comments on the site saying that it was much too lemony, so I used less than the original recipe) and creamy. And fast, too - definitely a bonus.
Garden Veg Pasta
(printable recipe)
Serves 2, generously
200 g pasta
1 broccoli stand, divided into small florets
1 small zucchini, diced
75 g sugar snap peas
1/2 tbsp olive oil
100 g cream cheese
2 tbsp parmesan, grated
1/2 lemon - zest and juice
basil, a good handful, shredded
salt, pepper
Boil the pasta in lighty salted water. When three minutes remain of the cooking time, add the broccoli and the sugar snap peas and let them cook along.
Meanwhile, fry the zucchini in the oil. When the pasta is nearing completion, add a ladleful of the pastawater to the frying pan, along with the cream cheese, parmesan, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir until you have a nice smooth sauce. Drain the pasta and vegetables, and add them to the sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and finally add the basil.

This ounds great, I think I might try something like it this week.
yummy!! and so easy too. do you think goat cheese could be substituted for the cream cheese? this would make a good picnic salad.
thank you for sharing!

:o)
Puglette, as long as you use a fairly creamy goat's cheese, I think it'd be delicious! :)
Does the oil in the sauce make it greasy and could you sauté the zucchini instead of frying it?
Kate, the sauce isn't greasy at all. I think what I call frying is indeed sautéing - using a pan, and a little oil? Ah, the wonders of linguistics.. :)
Yum, this looks fab! Quick and easy. Will give it a go next week! :) x
Mmmm, part healthy, looks yumii :)
