Pasta Three Ways
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 onion small, finely diced
- 1 garlic clove finely diced
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 14 1/2 ounces plum tomatoes peeled
- 2 ounces sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1 pinch sugar
- 1 ounce walnut halves
- 5 ounces zucchini trimmed and grated
- 3 tablespoons Parmesan grated
- 1/2 lemon
- 5 ounces spaghetti
- 7 ounces tortellini
- 3 ounces sliced ham cooked, chopped
- 3 ounces swiss cheese such as Emmenthal or Gruyere, grated
- 2 tablespoons onions ready-made crispy
- 2 tablespoons chives finely chopped
- To make the tomato sauce, heat 1 tbsp oil, add the onions and garlic and saute for 3-4 mins. Stir in the tomato paste and saute for another minute. Add the canned tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes and mash gently using a wooden spoon. Stir in the sugar and season then simmer for 15-18 mins.
- To make the pesto, place the walnuts in a food processor and finely chop. Mix the walnuts with the zucchini, 2 tbsp Parmesan, 1 tbsp oil and the lemon juice. Set aside.
- Cook the spaghetti in salted, boiling water for 10-12 mins until tender. Add the tortellini to the pan 3 mins before the end of cooking. Drain the pasta and separate the tortellini. Mix the tortellini with the ham, Swiss cheese and crispy onions.
- Divide the spaghetti into two. Mix one half with the tomato sauce and the other half with the zucchini pesto. Divide each pasta dish between 4 plates then sprinkle with chives and the remaining Parmesan. Serve.
