Instructions

1

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil with a pinch of salt for the pasta. Meanwhile, halve, peel and thinly slice the red onion. Trim the green beans then chop into thirds. Halve the cherry tomatoes. 

2

Add the penne to the boiling water and cook for 10 mins. When cooked, drain in a colander, return to the pan off the heat and drizzle with a little oil to stop it sticking.

3

While the pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the red onion and green beans along with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and the beans are tender, 5-6 mins.

4

While the veggies are cooking, pick the tarragon leaves from their stalks and roughly chop (discard the stalks). Zest the lemon and cut into wedges.

5

Once the beans are cooked, stir in the cherry tomatoes, vegetable stock powder, the lemon zest, creme fraiche and half the tarragon, Simmer for 2-3 mins. TIP: If the sauce is a bit thick, add a splash of water (use the pasta water if it's still cooking!) Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed.

6

Add the penne to the sauce and mix well to combine (or tip it all into the saucepan you used to cook the pasta - whichever is largest!). Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. Serve in bowls topped with the remaining tarragon and a sprinkling of hard Italian cheese. Serve the lemon wedges on the side and enjoy!
