Ingredients

400g dried whole wheat fusilli pasta
small bunch baby carrots, halved lengthways
small bunch asparagus tips
small bunch tenderstem broccoli
100g sunblush tomatoes
1 tub Glenisk Crème Fraiche
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
Parmesan shavings
2 tbsp fresh herbs of your choice (chives, mint, parsley, basil)
Olive oil
Salt & pepper

Instructions

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add in the whole wheat pasta and stir.
Three minutes short of the pasta cooking time, add in the vegetables to the same pot. They just need light cooking to retain their crunch.
Pour the pasta and vegetables into a colander and shake well to drain. Drizzle over a little olive oil to prevent the pasta sticking together and shake again.
In the pasta cooking pot, pour in a tub of Glenisk Crème Fraiche.
Squeeze in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper, heat until bubbling.
Add the sunblush tomatoes, pasta and vegetables to the pot, stir well.
Plate up the pasta and garnish with Parmesan shavings, fresh herbs and lemon zest if desired.
