Method

  1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions, adding fresh broad beans for the last 3 minutes (frozen for the last 2 minutes).
  2. While the pasta is cooking, heat the oil in a large frying pan, tip in the onion and cook over a medium heat for 1-2 minutes. Stir in the garlic and courgettes, toss over a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, then stir in the tomatoes and shake in the Tabasco. Stir for 2-3 minutes to soften the tomatoes a little (not too much or they will go mushy). Drain the pasta and beans.
  3. Toss the veggies and basil into the pasta and season with salt and pepper. Serve hot (or cold as a salad with a low-fat dressing).

    Made it with fresh peas instead of broad beans and a little extra pasta. Had enough for 2 plus lunch for me the next day.

    I often do this, but use balsamic vinegar rather than the Tabasco - more child friendly! Very yummy. Avocado's go remarkably well too.

    I enjoyed this very much. It was easy to make and tasty. I put a little too much Tabasco in - next time I think I'll try Balsamic Vinegar as suggested by Nats.

    I fiddled with the recipe quite a bit, adding a can of tomatoes, a splash of garlic olive oil and fresh green chilli instead of the Tabasco; it was fantastic and a great way to use up vegetables.

    Tried this with balsamic vinegar as suggested in the comments as I didn't have any tabasco - really tasty, great recipe!
