Ingredients
- 2 courgettes
- 1 vegetable stock pot (such as Knorr)
- 1 clove garlic
- 1/4 red chilli
- 1/4 green chilli
- 100g Feta
- 150g asparagus
- 250g fresh egg tagliatelle
- Squeeze of lemon
- Splash of double cream
WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Slice one of the courgettes into very thin rounds. Cook over a low heat in a large wok or saucepan. Don't let it brown, you are looking to make a stock-like paste by gently cooking the courgette. Add the odd splash of water when needed.
- Chop and add the garlic and continue to cook on a low heat for 10 minutes.
- Add the stock pot/crumble in the stock cube and add some more water if needed. Leave it bubbling away while you get on with the next part.
- Dice the Feta into 1cm cubes. Chop the chillies into small squares and combine in a separate bowl. Season well and mix so that the chilli pieces stick to the Feta.
- Chop the other courgette into big slices. Steam the courgette and asparagus for 6-7 minutes (they should still have some 'bite' but not be undercooked).
- Cook the tagliatelle as per pack instructions.
- Combine all of the ingredients apart from the Feta mixture, including a squeeze of lemon and a splash of cream. Toss the Feta mixture into the pasta just before serving..
