Pasta and Peas with Stuffed Zucchini (with photo)

[farfallina]

Name of Recipe: Pasta and Peas with Stuffed Zucchini

Number of People: 4 - 6
According to the book this serves for 6. However, (I don't know if that day I was extremely hungry or the portions are really smaller than my standarts) it didn't seem quite enough to me for 6 people. In my opinion it could be sufficient to serve for 4, 4 1/2 or the most 5 people

Ingredients:

Stuffed Zucchini
10g parsley
40g bread crumbs
50g parmnesan
3 big zucchini (my 3 came 600g in total)
50g prosciutto cotto or mortadella
1 egg
Salt
Pepper

Pasta and Peas
40g extra virgin olive oil
30g spring onion
50g pancetta or sausage
300g green peas
250g tomatoes (peeled & seeds removed)
850g water
1 tbsp Thermomix stock concentrate
250g ditaloni


Preparation:
    Place parsley, parmesan and bread crumbs in TM Bowl and mix for 10 seconds on Turbo Speed
    Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Scrape out the insides.
    Add the insides of zucchini, pancetta, egg, salt and pepper in TM Bowl. Mix for 20 seconds on Speed 5
    Stuff zucchini with the mixture and place them in Varoma Bowl and Tray

    Put oil, onion and prosciutto in TM Bowl. Cook for 3 minutes at 100ºC on Speed 4
    Add tomatoes. Mix for 5 seconds on Speed 5
    Add water, Thermomix concentrate and peas. Place Varoma. Cook for 25 minutes at Varoma Temperature on Reverse/Speed 1
    Remove Varoma and add ditaloni in TM Bowl. Place Varoma back on the top of TM Bowl. Cook pasta at Varoma Temperature on Reverse/Speed 1 for the time indicated on the package
    Serve pasta and peas into the plates
    Transfer zucchini into a serving tray and bring them to the table as well

Adapted with a few changes from the recipe called Pasta e Piselli con le Zucchine Farcite in the book named Alla Scoperta di Bimby

Thank you for this, Farfallina.  I loved your Rice Flour Daisy Bread yesterday, so thought I'd try another of your recipes for dinner.  This one looks and smells great.

Dear cecilia I am happy to hear you are pleased with some recipes that I posted.
Let's hope it continues this way 

Dear fundj, I completely agree with you about the amount. For me it would feed 4 people, not 6. Or I am a "mangiona"
