Method

1. Dissolve the stock in 100ml of boiling water.
2. Heat some olive oil on a high heat in a wide pan.
3. Fry the broccoli stalks for a minute.
4. Add the broccoli florets and fry for a few more minutes, until browned.
5. Remove the broccoli from the pan and set aside.
6. Cook the courgettes and garlic for 4-5 minutes or until starting to soften, then turn off the heat.
7. Cook the tagliatelle per packet instructions.
8. Drain the tagliatelle and add it to the courgette pan.
9. Add the lemon juice, chilli flakes, parmesan, flaked almonds, spinach, soured cream (optional), stock and broccoli to the pan.
10. Cook on a medium heat for 2 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the spinach wilted.

Notes

• If tagliatelle is unavailable try spaghetti.
• You can use garlic paste instead if you add it to the stock, rather than cooking it with the courgettes.
• Try adding a tablespoon of creme fraiche or soured cream, for a richer sauce.
