Penne Pasta, Cherry Tomato and Roquette Pesto
Easy to make and with real intensity of flavour, once you've tried this you'll never buy pre-made pesto again!
- Serves: 6
Method
- Put one handful of Roquette to one side to finish the salad. Put the rest into a food processor and add the pine nuts, parmesan, chopped garlic and basil leaves. Blend to a paste then add the olive oil and check the seasoning. Pesto now made.
- Place the cooked pasta into a large bowl and add enough pesto to coat. Now add the saved Roquette and mix in, put to one side.
- Heat a skillet pan and add the tomatoes to just blister and caramelise. Leave to cool.
- Now add the cherry tomatoes to the pasta and serve in a large bowl.
