One Pot Pasta with Green Beans and Rocket


One of Antony's favourite comfort suppers, this pasta dish can be quickly made from ingredients in your storecupboard.

Serves 4

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 onion, peeled and chopped
  • 250g potatoes cut in small dice
  • 100g green beans cut in short lengths
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 red chillis, deseeded and finely chopped
  • 1 litre hot vegetable stock
  • 250g dried pasta shapes (risoni or conchigliette if possible, or the smallest you can find)
  • 50g rocket, roughly chopped
  • 50g fresh parmesan
  • 4 tbsp freshly chopped basil leaves
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a very large saucepan, add the onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened. Then add the potatoes and cook out to the point where they start sticking to the pan – about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme and chilli and stir.
  2. Add the pasta and a ladleful of the stock and allow it to incorporate. Keep adding the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring and allowing it to reduce each time, as you would with a risotto, until all the stock has been used. This should take about 10 minutes.
  3. Add the beans then stir in the rocket, Parmesan and basil and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with more Parmesan sprinkled on top.
