Easy , quick vegie cabonara
« on: January 23, 2011, 11:11:34 am »
This is from the creamy zucchini pasta sauce recipe posted on this forum. That is brilliant but I had to modify as I didn't have enough zucchini's. Kids love both these recipes. And easy, quick and full of vegies.

50g cheese or to taste
3-5 garlic cloves
30-40 g olive oil
cup or so sliced mushrooms
1 medium zucchini
fresh corn off two cobs
120 g milk
fresh basil if you have some

pasta - cooking as you make this

grate cheese - Speed 8/3-5 secs.  remove for later

pop 3-5 cloves of organic garlic in and chop - Speed 5/ 7 secs

add 30g cold pressed olive oil 2 mins 100 deg/speed 1

Add roughly chopped zucchini and blend - Speed 8/10 secs

Add sliced mushrooms - 1 cup or so and cook 3 mins/100 deg/reverse/speed 1

add 120g organic unhomogonised milk and fresh sweetcorn from 2 cobs - 9 mins/Reverse/ speed 1/90 deg

Pour over cooked pasta and sprinkle cheese over. If you have fresh basil tear some over.

Looks a great recipe Zebraa and I'm going to try it soon and will report back.

Would it be worth amending your instructions to remove the cheese after grating it as otherwise some people might end up in a messy situation?  ;D ;D
