Instructions
 

  • Bring a pot filled with water to a boil. Add your pasta to cook as usual or as instructed in the packaging. Remember to salt the water before adding the pasta.
  • In a non stick preheated pan, sauté the sliced courgettes, onion and pressed garlic in margarin over medium heat. Season with salt and white pepper. We want the courgette to get a nice cooler, for about 15 min. Let's make the pesto while the courgettes are cooking.
  • In your food processor, add the basil, peas, garlic, olive oil, salt and white pepper.
  • Blend to a smooth creamy consistency.
  • When the courgettes are tender and golden, turn the heat off. Add to the courgettes, the drained pasta (about 2 cups) , the pesto sauce, the sliced olives, parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice. Taste to adjust the seasoning and garnish with sliced cherry tomatoes. Bon appétit !
