Use yesterday's Pesto recipe and make today's Pesto Pasta!

For lunch today I decided to use what I made yesterday, add a couple of minor ingredients and make a delcious Pesto Pasta. The dish came out beautifully... Appealing to the eye as well as to the tastebuds! Try it, it won't disappoint.

Simple Coriander and Almond Pesto Pasta

Ingredients:

  • 1 batch of the coriander and almond pesto (recipe on blog)
  • 250ml sour cream/creme fraiche (I used creme fraiche)
  • 1 bag of pasta
  • 1 handful of shaved almonds
  • Parmesan cheese, grated.
Ingredients

Method:

  1. Boil your pasta in boiling, salted water.
  2. While your pasta is boiling, in a bowl, mix together your pesto and sour cream/creme fraiche, creating a light green in colour and creamy consistency'd sauce (add more or less to your liking)
  3. Fry the almonds in a dry frying pan (lightly toasting them). Be careful to not burn them.
  4. When the Pasta is al dente, drain, and put into your desired serving bowl.
  5. Pour the sour cream/creme fraiche and pesto mixture over the pasta and toss. (making sure that all the pasta has some sauce on it)
  6. Put the desired portions into serving dishes, sprinkle with toasted almonds and some freshly grated parmesan, serve and enjoy!
Enjoy!
