Directions

  1. 1

    Wash the mangetouts, clean them if necessary and cut them diagonally into strips. Wash and clean the broccoli and cut into small florets. Blanch in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes. Add sugar snap peas about 1 minute before the end of the cooking time.

  4. 4

    Bake ham in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 200 °C/ convection oven: 175 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 8-10 minutes until crispy. Take out and drain on kitchen paper.

  5. 5

    Peel and finely chop the garlic. Peel and finely chop the shallot. Wash, clean and halve the tomatoes. Drain the pasta, collecting about 150 ml of pasta water. Heat the oil in a coated pan.
