Recipe for pappardelle and provencal sauce in our easy vegetarian recipes collection.

Recipe ingredients

  • 2 small purple onions, peeled, root left intact
  • 2/3 cup vegetable stock
  • 1 to 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 4 tablespoons red wine
  • 2 courgettes, cut into fingers
  • 1 yellow pepper, seeded and sliced
  • 14 ounces can tomatoes
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
  • 1 teaspoon caster sugar
  • 12 ounces pappardelle
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Fresh thyme and 6 black olives, stoned and roughly chopped, to garnish

How to make pappardelle and provencal sauce

  • Cut each onion into eight wedges through the root end, to hold them together during cooking.
  • Put into a saucepan with the stock and garlic.
  • Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 5 minutes, until tender.
  • Add the red wine, courgettes, yellow pepper, tomatoes, thyme and sugar.
  • Season with salt and pepper.
  • Bring to the boil and cook gently for 5 to 7 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally to coat the vegetables with the sauce.
  • Do not overcook the vegetables as they are much nicer if they are slightly crunchy.
  • Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling salted water according to the instructions on the package, until tender.
  • Drain the pasta thoroughly.
  • Transfer to a warmed serving dish and top with the vegetables.
  • Garnish with fresh thyme and chopped black olives.
  • A classic French sauce of tomatoes and fresh vegetables adds colour and robust flavour to pasta.
