Creamy Basil Pesto Pasta

Watching a movie and want some warm pasta to snuggle and eat in the comfort of your sofa? We promise you won’t be disappointed with our creamy version of the herby pesto genovese.

Ingredients

  • 1 Box Pesto Genovese Pasta Meal Kit
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 70ml heavy cream
  • Optional- 1 cup of shredded chicken or your choice of veggies like peas, broccoli, asparagus, etc.

Method

  1. Empty the pasta pouch into a pot of salted boiling water. Cook for 10 min or until the pasta is al dente . Once the pasta is done cooking, save a cup full of water from the pasta before you drain it.
  2. Add the optional veggies or chicken into a pan with some oil and cook until tender. Turn off the heat. (Skip Step 2 if you are using just spinach)
  3. Add our pesto genovese sauce, cream and chopped spinach to the pan.
  4. Add the drained pasta to the pan and stir together everything. While we know it is tempting enough to eat it as is, trust us – wait.
  5. Taste it now, season with salt and pepper according to your taste. Use the pasta water to adjust the consistency.
  6. Warm the pan ever so slightly for 30 seconds and you are done!
  7. Transfer the pasta to a plate and top with grated parmesan.
