Vegetables With Pasta

What can you do with some leek, purple sprouting broccoli, a courgette and some pasta? Add some goat’s cheese and you have a really tasty and quick and easy to cook midweek supper! Goat’s cheese goes really well with all these vegetables.

I also added a handful of flaked almonds to add a bit of crunch and texture. Almonds are really good for you too..

A really tasty meal from some vegetables, some pasta and some goat’s cheese. You don’t need lots of fancy flavours to make an amazingly tasty meal!

A Few Vegetables – Some Pasta And Some Cheese

I like it when I have a few ingredients to put together to make a meal. Having many basics in the cupboard such as pasta, rice and lentils means that I always have a base on which to create a meal. I had seen a piece of goats cheese on offer in the supermarket and thought that it would be a good addition to the purple sprouting broccoli I had bought

Purple Sprouting Broccoli

Purple sprouting broccoli is in season from January through to April. It is often not available in the supermarkets and when it is, it tends to be very expensive. However if you go to your local farm shop or farmers market you will probably find it very reasonably priced.

Use Different Vegetables

I used a romero red pepper – the long ones that look a bit like a big chilli. They are often sweeter than bell peppers but you can use just an ordinary red bell pepper instead or even a green pepper!

You can make this recipe with perhaps only two of the four vegetables and you can always add something different such as mushrooms or peas.

You could use a different cheese too but the soft goats cheese is really delicious with this combination of vegetables. Best seasoned with plenty of black pepper too!
