Ingredients (serves 2-3):
- 250g of pasta
- 100g of freshly podded peas
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves – peeled and finely sliced
- 1 cucumbers – sliced
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1 handful of fresh mint leaves – roughly chopped
- 125g of fresh ricotta cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Put the pasta on to cook in some lightly salted with a dash of olive oil in. While the pasta is cooking gently fry the garlic for a minute or so until it releases it’s aroma then remove from the pan. About five minutes before the pasta is ready add in the freshly podded peas. Once the pasta and peas are cooked, drain off all but a couple of tablespoons of the water. Add the garlic to the pasta along with the sliced cucumber, mint and ricotta.
Put a lid on the pan and toss everything together well, warming through a little bit if required.
Serve up straight away. Enjoy!
