"A Secret Ingredient for the Perfect Pesto Pasta!"

In this weeks episode I am going to share with how to make that delicious pesto pasta even more tasty and healthy at the same time. It's quick, easy and delicious. Recipe Spinach Pesto Spaghetti 300g Fresh spinach 2 Garlic cloves 100g Salted peanuts 100g Parmesan cheese or pecorino cheese Extra virgin olive oil 1 lemon 1/2 sliced of bread Freshly milled black pepper 30g Feta cheese (optional) 400g Dried spaghetti 200g Cherry tomatoes 2 tbsp Sherry vinegar 4 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil 1/2 tsp Honey Salt and pepper Here’s how Firstly get a large pan of salted boiling water, it’s really important that you use a large pan as the pasta needs lots of space to bounce around during the cooking process. Meanwhile to make this delicious pesto, place the spinach into a a food processor with the the 2 garlic cloves. Scatter in the salted peanuts, grate in the cheese and pour in the olive oil. Season up with a little black pepper. I like to add a squeeze of lemon juice and some bread crumbs to help bind the sauce together. Have a quick taste and season if required. Add the feta cheese if you fancy it. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add to a bowl with the vinegar, olive, honey and seasoning. Stir together and put to one side. Now that the pasta is almost cooked, lift a ladle of the pasta water into a large shallow pan, then add half the pesto and stir together. Do not put the pan on the heat. Lift the pasta out using a pair of tongs and transfer into the pesto pasta sauce. Stir together and serve up with the dressed cherry tomatoes. Keep the remaining pesto in a jar in the fridge for uptown 2 weeks, top tip pour a layer of olive oil on top of the pesto to trap the air out as it helps keep it for longer.
