Orecchiette with pumpkin seed pesto and Tenderstem® broccoli
Method
-
Start by making the pesto: simply place all the pesto ingredients into a food processor and blitz for a couple of minutes until you have a smooth mixture. Add a splash of water if required to loosen the pesto. Set to one side.
-
Grill the courgette slices in a griddle pan, cooking on each side for 1-2 minutes. In a separate pan, add 1 tbsp of olive oil and once hot, add in the Tenderstem® broccoli. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt, put the lid on and cook for about 5 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the packet’s instructions.
-
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and mix it straight away with the pesto. Add the grilled courgette and Tenderstem® broccoli and mix everything together. Serve with a drizzle of extra virgin olive and a sprinkle of chilli flakes.
