Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Sprinkle the pine nuts on a baking tray and put them into the oven. Leave to roast for 3-5 minutes. Prepare the pasta according to the packet instructions. Blanch the peas, mangetout and courgettes on the stove over medium heat for 5 minutes. Drain the cooked pasta and toss through the blanched vegetables. Add the basil leaves and stir through to combine. Sprinkle the pine nuts over the pasta. In a small jug, combine all the dressing ingredients and whisk. Drizzle over the pasta and toss.
