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!
