Have you ever seen the “TikTok pasta” the place you bake feta cheese and cherry tomatoes after which mash it right into a sauce that you simply toss your pasta in? Elsa made that for us yesterday and watching her prepare dinner all by herself was one of many cutest and proudest parenting second I’ve had. Till I notice that TikTok truly has extra affect on our daughters cooking expertise than we do 🙂 However it was a fairly scrumptious pasta dish. And the lesson we realized from a viral recipe like that’s that everyone appears to like fast and straightforward pasta recipes.
We have a couple of fast and scrumptious pasta recipes up our sleeves too. This explicit one includes kale so it isn’t our youngsters favourite, which makes it the proper lunch recipe. It’s tremendous creamy and you may make in lower than quarter-hour with just some substances and one pot for the pasta (and a blender). You let the kale soften within the pasta water for a minute earlier than including it to a blender to create a creamier model of pesto. I first noticed this technique in Jamie Oliver’s 5-ingredient e-book, however we now have switched it up a bit added a couple of further substances to make it into extra of a meal and serve it differently. We toss the pasta in half the sauce after which add the remaining to the underside of the plates. This creates a inexperienced base that each appears gorgeous but additionally makes the entire dish even creamier. We use bucatini pasta for this, it is just like spaghetti however thicker and hole so it could possibly absorb a lot of sauce. It is a gorgeous wanting dish and it tastes fairly bomb too.
I will be making this as a Lunch Remedy cookalong on instagram tales tomorrow (Wednesday, 3 March, round midday CET), so be certain that to ensure you have the substances beneath and be part of me on Wednesday: @gkstories
