Ingredients:

Serving

1 lb dry pasta, any shape
3 1/2 oz frozen peas
6 oz broccoli, cut into small florets
4 oz pine nuts
3/4 cup creme fraiche
1 tbsp fresh mint, chopped
2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped
1 tbsp lemon juice
4 oz spinach, washed and drained
1 tbsp capers, rinsed and roughly chopped

Directions:

Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the pasta, return to the boil, then cook for 4 minutes.
Add the peas and broccoli, and simmer for 3-4 minutes, until the pasta and vegetables are just tender.
Meanwhile, heat a small, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the pine nuts and toast for 1-2 minutes, turning with a wooden spoon constantly, until they are an even, golden colour.
In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche, mint, half the basil and the lemon juice. Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Drain the pasta and cooked vegetables in a colander.
Place the spinach in the empty pasta pan and tip the pasta and cooked vegetables on top. Stir in the creamy herb mixture to combine thoroughly. Cook over a low heat for 2-3 minutes until the spinach has wilted and the sauce has heated through.
Place in a serving dish and scatter with the toasted pine nuts, capers and the remaining basil.
Season with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
