This is a light, refreshing and very tasty springtime pasta with edamame, colourful tomatoes, edamame and mint.
It's a flavour-packed dish that is utterly delicious and super simple to make.
Spring is finally here, and that means milder weather and - at last! - the chance to enjoy fresh, light meals outdoors in the sunshine.
The use of fresh egg pasta in this dish cuts the cooking time down considerably, while tricolour tomatoes bring extra sweetness and plenty of flavour to the dish.
Meanwhile, the grassy notes of the edamame and mellow, citrusy notes of the fresh mint flavours balance everything out brilliantly.
To bring this dish together, there's a single sauce made from garlic, olive oil and a splash of vegetable stock, delivering subtle, creamy finish.
Ingredients
- 350 g (12.35 oz) fresh egg tagliatelle
- 400 g (14.11 oz) baby plum tomatoes
- 100 g (3.53 oz) edamame beans
- 40 g (1.41 oz) fresh mint leaves
- 75 g (2.65 oz) Parmesan or vegetarian hard cheese alternative
- 1½ tsp (1.5 tsp) garlic minced
- 1 vegetable stock (bouillon) cube
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 pinch salt and black pepper
Equipment
Instructions
Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a frying pan. Toss in your fresh edamame beans.
Halve and add your green, yellow and red tomatoes, followed by a crushed garlic clove and some salt and pepper.
Fry for 5 minutes over a medium-high heat, shaking occasionally to release the tomato juices.
Dissolve the stock in a large pan of boiling water and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions.
Using tongs, lift the cooked pasta from the pot into the frying pan, and ladle about 50ml of the pasta cooking water into the pan - this helps to form a flavoursome coating on the pasta.
Add the rest of your olive oil to the pan along with about half of your hard cheese.
Stir gently over the heat for a couple of minutes until the ingredients form a creamy sauce.
Top with plenty of freshly torn mint.
Serve into bowls with more cheese and another generous helping of fresh mint.
