Heaven!
I made this dressing up a month or so ago as a bit of an experiment, and since then I just can't get enough of it. So, this is literally up to you what you put in it. This time I used up what I needed to in the fridge but it can vary. Sometimes I add asparagus, sometimes mushrooms. It all depends on what I've got in my cupboard in a jar or what's lurking round in the fridge!
Anyway, this is my recipe but feel free to change the veggies up to suit your tastes.
Ingredients:
For the dressing...
- 4-5 basil leaves
- 1 tbsp garlic oil
- 1 tsp chilli oil (if you like a bit of heat)
- Good squeeze of lemon
- 1/4 tsp sugar
- salt and pepper
For the rest...
- Gluten free spaghetti
- 8-10 Olives
- 3-4 artichoke hearts from a jar
- 1/4 cup of frozen peas
Method:
- Start off by getting the pasta going. Get a large pan of boiling water on the go with a sprinkle of salt and when it's bubbling add in the pasta - check the time
- Make the dressing by adding all the dressing ingredients into a pestle and mortar and give it a good bash until its all mixed and green
- In the last 3 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the peas to the pan to cook
- When your pasta is cooked (check the packet for times - GF pasta is usually around 7-9 mins), drain and put back in the pan with the peas - off the heat though
- Stir through the dressing, olives and artichokes
- Serve in a big bowl with some crushes black pepper and enjoy!
