Pesto Pasta in 20 minutes!
This is comfort food for me. I made this with whatever was in the fridge and the pantry. It is packed with flavour, fresh ingredients and real food! Whenever I’ve shared this recipe with friends I encourage them to make it their own. If you make it, I’d love to see your creations! Please share and include #pestopastafeedforlove. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
1 cup of cannellini beans (or beans of your choice)
1/2 head of broccoli boiled (10-15 min)
1 cup of cooked pasta (I used orecchiette) *reserve 1/4 cup of pasta water
Pesto:
2-3 cups of raw greens (I used spinach)
2-3 cloves of garlic (I roasted the garlic for 10 min @400)
Lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
1/4 cup nuts (I used cashews)
1/2 cup grated parmeggiano cheese (try to use a similar tasting hard cheese)
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Blend all pesto ingredients in a food processor or blender except the olive oil. Drizzle oil into blender/processor while blending until smooth. *taste before adding salt & pepper.
To serve: Add beans, cooked broccoli, cooked pasta, 1-2 tablespoons of pesto & 1-2 tablespoons of pasta water to serving bowl and mix well. Add more pesto if not all ingredients aren’t dressed to your liking, but be careful not to add too much water. Top with more cheese & serve warm.
