Ingredients
- 8 oz of your favorite pasta (preferably whole wheat or gluten-free for a healthier option)
- 4 tablespoons Zimms Organics Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite-size pieces
- 1 cup of fresh peas (or frozen if fresh aren’t available)
- 1 small bunch of radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 artichoke heart, cooked and sliced
- 2 spring onions, sliced
- 2 cups of fresh spinach leaves
- Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
- Grated Parmesan cheese or vegan alternative, for serving (optional)
- Fresh herbs for garnish (such as basil or parsley)
Directions
- Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving a cup of the pasta water.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of Zimms COOK EVOO in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus and peas, sautéing until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Add the radishes, artichoke hearts, and spring onions, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
- Stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt. Gently toss the cooked pasta into the skillet with the vegetables, adding a splash of reserved pasta water to help combine all the flavors.
- Drizzle a healthy amount of Zimms HEAL EVOO over the pasta and vegetables, tossing until everything is well coated.
- Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or vegan alternative, and a garnish of fresh herbs.
