Pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes

Pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes

The Italians have been pounding basil with garlic and tumbling it through pasta for hundreds of years. We bow down to them for doing the hard yards on this recipe, and then again to our kitchen for making a version that’s ready in minutes and unashamedly delicious (if we do say so ourselves). Ours uses casarecce, a short, twisted pasta that’s perfect for carrying a vibrant green sauce. Said sauce is a riff on our creamy pesto, loaded with fresh basil, Parmesan and garlic, plus a hit of baby spinach and kale for extra oomph. A dash of crème fraîche rounds it out, making for a brilliant dinner for one. Pronto.

To Serve

Serve it with a piece of warmed crusty bread, a glass of wine and the smug satisfaction of barely lifting a finger.

* We don’t add preservatives or additives to our meals – we cook with the same real ingredients you would find in your home fridge and pantry. Some of these household ingredients do contain sub-ingredients, for example Dijon mustard contains sulphites and crushed tomatoes contain citric acid. We try to find products with as few additives as possible and always list every ingredient in our meals, both here and on the label.
