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 just toss your pasta in? Elsa made that for us yesterday and watching her cook dinner all by herself was one of many cutest and proudest parenting second I’ve had. Till I notice that TikTok really 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 just a few fast and scrumptious pasta recipes up our sleeves too. This specific one entails kale so it isn’t our children favourite, which makes it the proper lunch recipe. It’s tremendous creamy and you may make in lower than quarter-hour with only a few components 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 methodology in Jamie Oliver’s 5-ingredient ebook, however we’ve switched it up a bit added just a few further components to make it into extra of a meal and serve it differently. We toss the pasta in half the sauce after which add the remainder to the underside of the plates. This creates a inexperienced base that each appears to be like beautiful but additionally makes the entire dish even creamier. We use bucatini pasta for this, it is much like spaghetti however thicker and hole so it could possibly absorb plenty of sauce. It is a beautiful trying 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 be sure you have the components beneath and be a part of me on Wednesday: @gkstories
