Method

  1. Cook the pasta following the pack instructions. Two minutes before the end of the cooking time, add the asparagus and peas. Boil everything together for the final 2 mins, then scoop out and reserve a cup of the cooking liquid from the pan before draining the pasta and veg.
  2. Return the pasta and veg to the pan and add the lemon zest, soft cheese and seasoning. Add a squeeze of lemon juice to taste and stir in 2-3 tbsp of the cooking liquid to loosen the sauce.

    I added grilled pepper philidelphia for a different flavour. Very tasty and simple.

    Sorry to say this was the first recipe I have taken from this website, cooked and disliked. It was really bland, the tang from the lemon didn't work for me, it's about the first time in three months that I left more than half on the plate. The redeeming feature is that there isnt much washing up to do, and it was quick to prepare. Not for me sadly.

    I thought it was quite tasty, when you consider the amount of ingredients and time taken. Black pepper was a must though!
