Celebrate spring with a vibrant pasta dish featuring fresh seasonal vegetables.
Ingredients:
  • 450g fettuccini
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 2 medium corn cobs, husks removed, kernels cut from cob
  • 1 red capsicum, cut into 2mm thin strips
  • 2 medium zucchini, cut into 2mm thinstrips (green parts only)
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 500.00 ml cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 62.50 ml fresh basil, roughly chopped plus extra leaves for garnish
  • 21.00 gm fresh lemon juice
  • 40g shredded parmesan cheese
  • 4.60 gm olive oil, to finish
Instructions:
  • Place a large pot of salted water on high heat until it boils. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook as per packet instructions.
  • Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat when the pasta is 5 minutes away from being al dente.
  • Sauté the corn and capsicum for 2 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini and garlic and sauté for an additional 2 minutes.
  • Combine the tomatoes in and season with salt and pepper to taste while tossing gently.
  • After cooking the pasta, strain it in a colander and toss it into the pan with the vegetables, ensuring everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Combine fresh basil leaves, freshly squeezed lemon juice, half of the Parmesan cheese, and season generously with salt and pepper for a burst of fresh flavors.
  • With a pair of tongs, create a high mound in the center of a pasta bowl by swirling a quarter of the pasta and vegetable mixture. Repeat with the remaining pasta.
  • Drizzle the remaining vegetables from the pan over the pasta in each bowl and sprinkle with the leftover parmesan and basil leaves for a delightful finish.
