Lemon Pesto Pasta

Lemon Pesto Pasta Recipe

Pimp up your pesto! Homemade pesto is great, but we’ve made an easy option even simpler by using store-bought pesto as the base for this tangy meal option.

Ingredients:

  • 500g spaghetti (fresh is best, but dried works too)
  • 50g fresh store-bought pesto
  • Juice of 1⁄2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon sour cream or natural yoghurt
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • Salt & pepper
  • Rocket leaves, to serve

Method:

  1. Cook spaghetti according to packet instructions.
  2. Drain until almost all the liquid has been removed, but keep a couple of tablespoons in the pan.
  3. Add the pesto, a squeeze of lemon juice and a tablespoon of sour cream or yoghurt and stir through the spaghetti, making sure you mix it thoroughly.
  4. Season well and serve with parmesan and fresh rocket.
