Steps to make Pesto Pasta
- In a food processor jar add 3 cups fresh basil
- Add ½ cup walnuts
- Add ¼ cup Pumpkin seeds
- Blend it
- I added the basil in batches
- Add 1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Add juice of 1 lemon
- Add 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Blend again
- Add 1 teaspoon ginger garlic paste
- Add salt per taste, blend for 1-2 minutes
- I added 2 cubes of Amul Cheese, blend 1 last time
- Cut 1 Zucchini
- Cut 100 grams of broccoli
- Next, boil the pasta based on the instructions on the packet
- I’ve used Pink Harvest Farms 100% Moong and Edamame Spaghetti
- While it is boiling stir fry broccoli and zucchini with salt, pepper & sugar
- I’ve used only 1 tablespoon of oil, add the broccoli
- Add the cut Zucchini
- Add salt per taste
- Add 2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- Add 1 teaspoon sugar and stir fry for 5 minutes
- Remove, and keep aside!
- Spaghetti is ready!
- In the same pan add the cooked spaghetti
- Add the pasta sauce
- Toss it using tongs
- This helps in keeping the spaghetti nice and long without breaking it
- Add 3 tablespoons black olives
- Cover with the lid and let it simmer for 2 minutes
- Serve it in a bowl using tongs
- Add a few black olives
- Garnish with 3 fresh basil
- Serve hot!
