Pesto & Cherry Tomato Pasta

Pesto & Cherry Tomato Pasta

with Apple & Almond Salad

With some help from our brightly flavoured basil pesto and some blistered cherry tomatoes, your weeknight pasta just got a whole lot fancier.

The recent harsh weather conditions have impacted the zucchini grown by our farmers. The quality and freshness is still the same, but they may be a little smaller than usual.

Cooking Steps

1

• Boil the kettle. In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over a high heat. Cook cherry tomatoes, stirring occasionally, until blistered, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl. • Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan over a high heat. Add a pinch of salt, then bring to the boil. Cook fettuccine in the boiling water until ‘al dente’, 9 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (2 tbs for 2 people / 4 tbs for 4 people), then drain and return to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil to prevent sticking.

TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

• While pasta is cooking, grate zucchini. Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice apple. Roughly chop roasted almonds. • In a large bowl, combine a drizzle of olive oil and white wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper. Top with the apple, almonds and spinach & rocket mix. Set aside.

TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.

Add light cooking cream and vegetable stock pot and cook until slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes. • Stir in basil pesto, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), cooked fettuccine and reserved pasta water, until combined and heated through. • Remove pan from heat. Stir in cherry tomatoes. Season to taste.
