Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for the time indicated on the packet, then reserve a cup of cooking water before draining.
  2. Cut the courgette, pepper and carrots into small cubes, and break the broccoli into small florets.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan, then sauté the carrots and broccoli for 4 minutes over medium heat.
  4. Add the courgette, pepper and peas and stir-fry for 4 minutes until tender but still crisp.
  5. Add the sliced garlic, then the crème fraîche and a spoonful of cooking water, and let simmer for 1 minute.
  6. Toss in the drained pasta and Parmesan, mix well to coat, then season with salt and pepper.
  7. Serve right away, sprinkled with chopped parsley and extra Parmesan.

Variations and tips

Cream-free version. Replace the crème fraîche with 2 tablespoons of extra olive oil and a little cooking water for a lighter sauce.
