Ingredients for two servings:
1 pack of green pea fusilli,
Sea salt (coarse),
Fresh pepperoncini,
Olive oil,
One bunch of thin green asparagus,
1-1.5L carton of Soya Cuisine (plant-based single cream alternative),
1 to 2 bunches of leaf parsley, washed and finely chopped,
Or 4-5 heaped tablespoons of freeze-dried parsley,
2 bunches of chives, washed and finely chopped,
Or 4-5 heaped tablespoons of freeze-dried chives,
1 level teaspoon of oregano,
1 level tablespoon of vegetable stock powder,
For the garnish: cherry or date tomatoes.
Preparation
In a medium pan combine water, sea salt, a small amount of olive oil and two pepperoncini peppers. Bring to a boil.
Cook the fusilli al dente – make sure to check it regularly as it does not take long to cook.
(Lower the heat in order to avoid the pan boiling over)
Strain, stir in a few drops of olive oil and place in a pre-heated oven.
Sauce:
Pour the Soya Cuisine into a pan
Add the parsley, chives, oregano, vegetable stock powder and 1-2 washed and chopped pepperoncini peppers. Bring to a boil and add the slightly pre-cooked and finely chopped green asparagus (cooked al dente in slightly salted boiling water along with a small pinch of cane sugar). Allow to cook for a short time.
Arrange and serve
Great accompaniments include iceberg lettuce with fried tofu and a glass of Italian wine.
Dessert: 1 slice of watermelon
Any remaining fusilli can be left for a while in the oven and will later make a great snack.
