Farfalle Pesto Pasta

 
 

Sometimes you just want a bowl of pasta…on those days, this delicious farfalle pesto is my go-to!

SERVES: 2

INGREDIENTS

  • 100 g farfalle pasta

  • 1 litre water

  • 1 tsp salt

  • 1/4 tsp oregano

  • 1/4 tsp chilli flakes

  • Pinch of pepper

  • 1 tsp olive oil

  • Fresh pesto sauce (see recipe here)

  • 1/2 cup fresh soya cream (you can use any light cream)

  • 1 tsp almond powder

  • Cherry tomatoes to decorate

Method

  1. In a pan, boil water and add salt. Then, add the pasta and cook for 13 minutes on high heat. It should be al dente (a little undercooked as this is how any pasta should be).

  2. Strain and wash in cold water.

  3. Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a pan. Add pasta and saute for a minute while adding salt and pepper also.

  4. Now add cream, oregano and chilli flakes. Mix well for 2 minutes.

  5. Add the pesto sauce. Mix well and remove from heat.

  6. Garnish with cherry tomatoes and almond powder and serve hot.

Helpful Tips

  • If you would like a cheesy flavour, you can also sprinkle nutritional yeast instead of almond powder.
