  • About

Using an A to Z of vegetables (only two — asparagus and zucchini), this broth is tasty enough for grown-ups willing to forgive the gimmick.

Ingredients

  • 80 g alfabeto
  • 1 small bunch asparagus
  • 1 courgette, diced

Method

Trim the tough parts of the stem from the asparagus and cut the tender remainder into 1cm lengths, leaving the tips intact.

Heat the broth or stock until boiling, check for seasoning and add the pasta. About a minute before it is done, add the vegetables. Serve with the basil stirred in and the oil drizzled over.
