Lemon Garlic Pasta with Broccoli and Asparagus

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to the boil and add a good pinch of salt. Trim the woody ends off of Tenderstem broccoli and asparagus and add to the boiling water. Boil for 3 minutes, then remove, leaving the water boiling.

Step 2

Add pasta to the same pot and cook to package instructions.

Step 3

Warm a large pan over low heat and add olive oil and butter. Lightly fry sliced garlic over low heat for 30 seconds without colouring it, careful not to let the garlic burn, then add the juice of 1/2 lemon. Add the asparagus, broccoli and capers with a pinch of salt, gently toss to coat and remove from heat.

Step 4

Drain linguine when cooked al dente, reserving a cup of the pasta water. Add the linguine to the pan with a splash of pasta water with grated vegetarian hard cheese and pepper. Combine well, salt to taste and serve.
