Method

  • step 1

    Place the green vegetables in a medium-size saucepan, then pour over the stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the vegetables are cooked through, about 3 mins. Stir in the cooked pasta, beans and 1 tbsp of pesto. Warm through, then ladle into bowls and top each with another drizzle of pesto.

very easy to make and very tasty too! I used some leftover veg from our Sunday roast and also used orzo instead of spaghetti. Really tasty!

This is very easy and tasty. Like others, I just adapted veg to use up what I had: asparagus, celery, peas and broad beans. Didn't add the other beans and used dry spaghetti. Sometimes I think we all adapt recipes so much they are actually entirely new recipes!

Got the silent stoic treatment from meat-loving husband.....but much enjoyed by me and our two teenage daughters apart from the fact that the older one picked out the butter beans! You can please some of the people some of the time......
