  • 200g dried wholemeal pasta shapes
  • 4 carrots, 8 spring onions and 1 red pepper
  • 150g whole baby sweetcorn
  • 200g sugar snap peas

Method

  1. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, drain and set aside.
  2. Prepare the vegetables: cut the carrots into thin batons, thickly slice the spring onions, deseed the pepper and cut into thin strips and halve the baby sweetcorn. Place in a pan of boiling water with the sugar snap peas and cook for 4-5 minutes. Drain and add to the pasta.
