Slice your onion and fry it for a few mins. I like to make my veg shapes match my pasta shapes, so if I’m using long pasta I cut into slices and if I’m using short pasta I’ll dice. Slice and add your garlic cloves to fry for another minute until the onions start to brown

Chop and add your other vegetables. I don’t like wasting the stalk on my broccoli so I tend to chop off the tough outside and then slice up the soft middle bit to use as well. Hopefully it’s not poisonous or something. You might also want to add some butter beans if you have some.

Add the herbs and spices, stir and leave to simmer on a medium heat until the pasta is cooked and most of the water has boiled off

Serve!
