Total Time
20 Minutes
Ingredients
200g pack of Tenderstem broccoli, each stem cut into 4
150g of fusilli pasta
2 courgettes (grated or spiralized)
2 large mushrooms cut into cubes
150g of frozen peas
A pinch of cress to garnish
For The Pesto
2 handfuls of spinach
1 bunch of basil leaves
2 tbsp of olive oil
1 small garlic clove
Zest of lemon
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
Step 1

Put all the pesto ingredients in a blender. Add half the Tenderstem broccoli and blend until smooth.

Step 2

Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions, adding the peas to the pan for the last 2 minutes of cooking time.

Step 3

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the mushrooms and remaining Tenderstem broccoli to the pan and fry until the mushrooms are a golden colour and the Tenderstem broccoli still has a slight crunch. Add the courgette and cook for a few more minutes until it’s cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat.

Step 4

Drain the pasta and peas, leaving a small amount of the cooking liquid to add to the pesto to loosen it, if necessary.

Step 5

Stir the pasta, pesto and veg together and garnish with a little fresh cress, if desired.
