Seasonal vegetable pasta with toasted pine nuts and ricotta - a flavorful vegetarian delight.
Ingredients:
  • 375g Brand bowties pasta
  • 500.00 ml small broccoli florets
  • 60g pea
  • 100g snow peas, halved diagonally
  • 25g butter
  • 2 yellow squash, thinly sliced

  • 1 lemon, zested, juiced
  • 125.00 ml basil leaves
  • 125g fresh firm ricotta, crumbled
  • 40.00 ml pine nuts, toasted
Instructions:
  • Boil the pasta in a large saucepan of boiling water as per packet directions until al dente, adding the broccoli, baby peas, and snow peas in the last 2 minutes of cooking. Save 1/3 cup (80ml) of the cooking liquid before draining. Put the pasta mixture back in the pan.
  • Heat the butter in a large frying pan over medium-high heat until melted. Add the squash and garlic, stirring, for 2 minutes until golden brown.
