Sicilian pesto pasta meal kit recipe
A tasty Sicilian Hyblaean pesto and organic ancient grains pasta that comes in a kit and takes very little time to make into a delicious healthy meal full of Sicilian flavours.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 Sicilian Hyblaean pesto pasta meal kit
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- salt for pasta
- 150 g breadcrumbs 5-6 oz
Instructions
- Put a pot of water on to boil for the pasta. When it starts to boil add salt and bring to the boil again.
- While the water is boiling, put 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil in a small frying pan with the breadcrumbs. Cook over a medium heat, tossing frequently until crunchy and golden brown (about 5 minutes). Be careful not to let the breadcrumbs burn.
- Cook the pasta al dente according to the instructions on the packet.
- Pour the Hyblaean pesto into a pan. Add 4 tablespoon of pasta cooking water into the empty jar, close it and shake. Pour the water into the pan with the pesto, stir well and warm the sauce over a low heat.
- Add some of the organic cherry tomato sauce to the pesto . Keep adding until you get the consistency and flavour you prefer. (I used it all) Stir well and cook for about 3 minutes.
- When the pasta is cooked save a cup of the cooking water and drain. Add the pasta to the sauce and then mix it with the sauce and continue to cook on a low heat for about 1 min. If the mixture is too dry, add some of the saved pasta cooking water.
- Serve immediately sprinkled with toasted breadcrumbs.
Notes
I had some leftovers as I used all the ingredients in the kit but there was just my hubby and I. I baked the leftovers with some slices of mozzarella and another sprinkling of toasted breadcrumbs. It was delicious too!
