Well as most of us have a store cupboard full of pasta, I thought it might be a good idea to post a pasta recipe (or two or three!).
This is a dish I make quite regular at home when I've come home late, want some kind of beige food and don't have a lot of time to cook. It's pretty much all store cupboard and if I don't have any veggies in at all, I just use frozen peas and it still tastes great.
WHAT YOU NEED
- 1 cup pasta (per person)
- 1-2 tbsp garlic oil
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- pinch of sugar
- handful of fresh basil
- salt & pepper
- balsamic glaze and parmesan cheese to garnish
- Selection of vegetables - here I have used chestnut mushrooms and courgettes
METHOD
- Start off by boiling your pasta according to packet instructions
- Chop up your veggies and fry them in a little garlic oil
- Whilst the veggies and pasta are cooking, get making the dressing. In a pestle & mortar (or mini food processor) add 2 tbsps of garlic oil, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of sugar, salt & pepper and a large handful of fresh basil. Blitz until all the ingredients are blended
- Drain the pasta when it's cooked and then add your cooked veggies, basil dressing and a good grating of parmesan cheese to the pasta pan.
- Stir together to combine and then serve with an extra grating of cheese, a drizzle of balsamic glaze and a sprinkle of fresh basil.
This is just super quick, comfort food for when you're needing a quick fix of pasta.
I hope you enjoy,
Stay safe guys,
