Step 1

1 Prepare Ingredients

Place a pot of water on the stove and bring to the boil for cooking pasta. Peel and finely chop garlic. Cut zucchini in half length ways and slice in half cm slices. Chop tomato. Discard tough part of silverbeet stem and chop leaves.

Tip! You can grate the zucchini if you'd like to disguise the vegies.

Step 2

2 Cook Pasta

Add a big pinch of salt to the rapidly boiling water. Add the fusilli pasta and cook for 6 - 8 minutes or until "al dente" or cooked to your liking. Save a cup of pasta cooking water and drain the pasta.

Tip! Take the pasta off just before it is cooked through. You will finish cooking it in the sauce.

Step 3

3 Cook Veg

Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat, add a drizzle of oil and add garlic, silverbeet and zucchini and continue cooking for a few minutes until zucchini starts to colour and soften.

Tip! When adding protein to this recipe, this step is a good time to prepare and properly cook your protein to ensure it is safe to eat.

4 Make Sauce

Add the thickened cream to the sauce and stir to combine. Add the cooked, drained pasta and stir gently but well. Add some pasta water, a few spoonfuls at a time, until sauce reaches your preferred consistency.
