To kick start the week, I'm presenting this dish Pesto Marinara Pasta for Presto Pasta founded by Ruth from Once Upon a Feast.
I would love to tell you that I blended the pesto myself. Fresh pesto would have made such a difference to this dish! But truth be told, our basil plant did not survive my "green fingers" hence it has to come from a jar.
I was searching for an idea to cook Marinara with-especially with my find in my previous post. Now, it isn't often but the husband then fiance was actually the one who put his book down, turned to me late one night and said..... what about pesto?
Hence...
Pesto Marinara Pasta
250 grams of Spaghetti
200 grams of seafood marinara mix
garlic
crack pepper
Cook pasta, drain and set aside. Gently heat pesto in a deep pan till the lovely smell emerged. Add garlic and fry seafood. When seafood is nearly done. Pop the pasta back in the pan and give it a good toss. Serve with crack pepper and fresh salad.

ReplyDeleteThis is the kind of pasta recipe a working woman needs - come home from work, pull it together in a heartbeat, pour the wine, eat.
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me!
i wonder if i could ever plant enough basil to pull off pesto from scratch. ehm, i don't think so, i should go get a jar also hehehe
ReplyDeleteThis looks refreshing! I'm growing some basil in a pot too but they are just seedings now :P
ReplyDeleteFresh pesto is good - but any pesto is wonderful.... and fast is always welcome.
