INSTRUCTIONS
1.Boil the ZENB Penne Pasta for about 10 minutes until al-dente. Just before the pasta is ready, blanch the mange tout for 30 seconds in the pasta water. Drain both together and rinse.

Tasty Tips
If using garlic, it’s best to either fry in a little olive oil for 1 minute to take the rawness off the garlic or use 1 clove of crushed garlic confit
If serving the pasta at a later date you may wish to add a little water to soften up the sauce again with a drizzle of olive oil
