Method

  • step 1

    Cook the pasta according to packet instructions, adding fresh broad beans for the last 3 minutes (frozen for the last 2 minutes).

  • step 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.

  • step 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).

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

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.

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