Nearly Fat Free Pasta

This is one of my two favourite pasta dishes, which I cook pretty often. It is light and not oily at all.



Ingredients:
1/2 tbsp olive oil
125g button mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
125g shaved light ham, shredded
1/2 cup vegetable stock
1 punnet cherry tomatoes
a few pcs of broccoli florets
250g penne pasta (you can use shell pasta), cooked, drained and kept hot
1 green onion (spring onion), finely sliced.

Method:
1. Heat oil in a large frying pan. Saute mushrooms and garlic for 5 minutes until softened. Add ham. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes or until shaved ham has browned.
2. Stir in stock and tomatoes. Reduce heat. Simmer 5 minutes or until stock has reduced slightly.
3. Toss sauce with pasta and green onions. Top with some finely grated tasty cheese and toasted pinenuts.
