Pasta Primavera - Shamelessly Stolen From Bessie26's Blog

Ingredients
 
Olive oil
3 medium carrots - peeled and cut into batons
1 packet of green beans - washed and topped and tailed
1 courgette - washed and cut into batons
1/2 cup frozen peas
1/2 cup frozen sweetcorn
1 tbsp chopped chives
1 tbsp chopped parsley
1 tbsp chopped mint
1 lemon - grated zest and then squeeze
Tagliatelle
 
Method
 
Boil the kettle. Prepare the veg and herbs.  Put the tagliatelle on to boil. Heat the oil in a large pan or frying pan.  Soften the carrot batons gently in the olive oil, then add the green beans and allow to cook for a few minutes.  Add the chopped herbs, lemon zest, lemon juice and the courgette batons and cook for a few minutes more.  Add the frozen peas and sweetcorn a minute or two before serving.  Drain the pasta and mix it well with the vegetables, making sure the tagliatelle is well covered in the lemony oil.
 
Serve with a sprinkling of veggie parmesan.
 
Would probably be nice with a good tablespoon of sour cream or creme fraiche through it just before serving but I haven't tried that yet.
