Recipe


Ingredients

  • 1 packet good-quality linguine
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ cup green peas
  • 1 bunch broccoli rabe
  • ⅓ cup basil pesto
  • ½–¾ cup olives
  • 2 tbsp garlic (I’ve used roasted but you could use fresh, just reduce to 1 tbsp & roughly chop)
  • Sea salt, to taste

Method


  • Cook linguine according to packet instructions.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in large frying pan over medium–high heat.
  • Add peas and broccoli rabe and sauté for 2-3 mins.
  • Add pesto, olives and garlic and cook for 1 min.
  • Taste and add salt as desired.
  • Once cooked, drain pasta and tip into sauce, tossing to combine and finishing with extra drizzle of olive oil.
