Kinda Pasta Primavera Vegetarian

Hi all
here's a new recipe did tonight...
It's a lovely simple recipe and doesn't take too long to make.
For those that can get it use a Vegetarian Parmesan as I have or change the cheese entirely...



You need one medium leek cut in half and sliced thinly
1 can cannellini beans drained and rinsed
500g fresh peas out of pod or equivalent in frozen
1 capsicum finely slice
3/4 of 250ml soya cream
some of the pasta water 
vegetarian parmesan as much as you like
1 teaspoon italian garlic and herb mix
2Tbsp thyme infused olive oil (regular is fine)
and salt and pepper
and enough pasta for up to 4 to stir through

Put your Pasta on first whatever pasta you like and cook it so that it's either ready before starting the sauce or ready to be added when sauce is cooked...

add you oil then in a hot frying pan add you leek and capsicum and gently fry off for at least 15 minutes to make nice and tender add some salt and pepper and italian herbs
add your cannelloni beans and cook for further 5 minutes
add your fresh peas and cook for further 5 minutes I like the taste of the fresh peas with their bite still but if you prefer cook your peas for last 5 minutes in your pasta water and add when you add your pasta...

Now add your soya cream and stir through
add your pasta and stir through and add some of as much parmesan as you like..
add any extra pasta water you may need to make a nice sauce consistency
taste for seasoning and add any extra salt and pepper or parmesan you need
remember though this is a delicate flavour and you don't want to over power it with the parmesan

make sure all heated though nicely and serve immediately with a little extra black pepper or parmesan or as is...
enjoy

Hope you enjoy this recipe...
