Instructions

  1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and gently fry the spring onions, celery, garlic and zucchini (courgette) for 10 minutes. Season well and add the stock. Bring to the boil then add the pasta and cook for 10 minutes. Stir through the peas and cook for a minute or two more. Season to taste.
