Fresh Pesto with Supplant Grain & Stalk Pasta

From date night to lunchtime treats, enjoying Supplant Grain & Stalk Pasta with fresh basil pesto is the most delicious way to make sustainable and nutritious choices! If you don’t have time to make your own pesto, store-bought will work, but we definitely recommend the extra effort for that bright, vibrant, fresh flavor.

Ingredients

½ box of Supplant Grain & Stalk pasta

2 cups fresh basil

½ cup grated parmesan (fresh)

½ cup olive oil

½ cup pine nuts

3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

1 lemon

Directions

1. Cook Supplant Grain & Stalk pasta in a pan of salted, boiling water, for 10-12 minutes.
2. Whilst the pasta is cooking, add the basil and pine nuts into a blender and pulse until finely chopped.
3. Add the parmesan, garlic, and juice the lemon into the blender, and continue to pulse until well mixed.
4. Whilst the blender is on, slowly pour the olive oil in until a sauce is formed. You may have to push the pesto down from the sides of the blender.
5. Taste the pesto and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
6. There will be plenty of pesto, so bottle up and keep in the fridge.
7. When the pasta is ready, drain away the water and put into a mixing bowl.
8. Add 3 heaped tablespoons of pesto (or more if you love it!) to the pasta and mix well.
9. Serve up with freshly grated parmesan and black pepper.
