Pasta with Creamy Greens and Lemon

This is a very simple pasta dish but wonderfully healthy with all the greens involved.

(Serves 4)

300g pasta
140g broccoli florets
100g frozen soya beans
100g frozen peas
3-4 large leaves spring greens, sliced
150g light or extra light soft cheese
zest and juice 1 lemon
85g grated Parmesan
handful basil leaves

Cook the pasta in a very large pan following the pack instructions, adding broccoli florets, frozen soya beans, frozen peas and greens for the final 3 mins of cooking time.

Drain, saving a ladleful of the cooking water first, then tip everything back into the pan. Stir in the soft cheese, lemon zest and juice, grated Parmesan, a handful basil leaves, some seasoning and a splash of cooking water. Serve.
