    Green Lentil Penne with Pea Pesto

    by romylondonuk | Leave a Comment

    Vegan Lentil Penne Recipe

    Ingredients (serves 3-4)

    250g Explore Cuisine Green Lentil Penne (1 box)

    2 handful fresh Basil

    200g Peas

    200g Chickpeas

    1 clove Garlic, minced

    1/2 tsp Salt

    1/2 tsp Onion Powder

    1 Tbsp Flaxseed Oil

    Juice of 1/2 Lemon

    2 handful fresh Rocket Salad

    200g Cherry Tomatoes

    Sesame Seeds for topping (optional)

    Method

    1. Bring about 1 litre of lightly salted water to the boil in a medium saucepan, then add the Green Lentil Penne and reduce to a medium heat.

    2. Whilst the penne is cooking, prepare your pea pesto by adding the peas, chickpeas, garlic, salt and onion powder to a blender. I've used frozen peas in this case, that I defrosted upfront in lukewarm water. Blitz the ingredients until roughly combined, then add the flaxseed oil, lemon juice and about 3 Tbsp of pasta water to the blender.

    3. Blend until the pesto is smooth - you might have to use a spatula to scrape down the sides of your blender in between, so all peas and chickpeas are mixed up properly in the pesto. I like my pesto smooth, but of course if you don't mind it a little chunky, then feel free to only roughly blend it all together.

    4. Drain the pasta once the cooking time elapses & shortly run cold water through the colander to stop the cooking process of your penne.

    5. Return the penne to the empty saucepan, then add the rocket salad & pesto and thoroughly combine.

    6. Plate the pasta dish & then top with cherry tomatoes & sesame seeds.

    7. The most important step: Enjoy!
