First we need to marinate the cubes of chicken breast withincrediblyflavouredredpesto sauce. It can be eaten as an appetizer on its own or as a main meal with pasta or salad
So I decided to make red pepper and chard pesto, as I hoped this would make a lovely summer meal on wholewheat spaghetti served with tomatoes and rocket
Here is a very quick sauce you can prepare while the pasta is cooking. For two chaps. Get your food processor/blender and put in about three spoons of e
This recipe for redpesto and cheese muffins is even easier than my spinach, feta and tomato muffins as there’s less ingredients and not as much fiddling about
Ingredients. I came across a little jar of Sacla aubergine pesto in the supermarket the other day, and as I gingerly twisted off the lid, I realised it would be amazing in pasta with some sausages
I think the meat eaters wanted a steak with it. Still got a bit of a glut of tomatoes and red pepper, but fancied something a bit mediteraanean - this worked - well, I thought so
You can make your own pesto - I'm sure - and although I am a complete snob when it comes to convenience food as a general rule, when it comes to this sort of thing I currently don't have the inclination to blitz a bunch of basil with the other necessary ingredients to make my own fresh pesto
along with some homemade pesto, i tossed together some roasted red peppers and aubergines with some courgette pseudo-pasta to make a pretty healthy midweek meal
Lift the chicken on to a baking tray, spread the pesto over each breast and top with the mozzarella. Heat a non stick frying pan with a tablespoon of olive oil
When your spaghetti is ready, drain in a colander, toss in some some salt and olive oil and add the spaghetti to your frying pan, mixing with the seafood sauce
In a casserole dish, add the tomatoes, half of the jar of pesto, spinach and garlic, and give it a little mix, season with salt and pepper (don't worry that the spinach is frozen, this will defrost whilst cooking)
The pesto can be made ahead as it'll keep (coveredwith a layer of oil) for days. Whizz remaining tomatos with rest of the ingredients, check the taste and season as needed
Now I know that smoked mackerel isn't to everyone's liking, but for this recipe I've used some honey smoked mackerel which is a lot milder in flavour than the peppered or just straight smoked versions
