Recipe - Super Speedy and Easy Meat-free pasta (my own creation … don’t count the anchovies)

Serves 4 

Ingredients

·       Olive oil

·       4 tbsp. panko bread crumbs

·       4 garlic cloves, peeled and finely chopped

·       6 anchovies, peeled and finely chopped

·       4 tbsp. pine nuts

·       basil leaves

·       juice of 1

·       Lemon

·       Pepper

·       4 tbsp. finely grated Parmesan

·       Pasta (enough for 4 i.e 250g)

Method:

1.       Dry roast the pine nuts & bread crumbs – set aside

2.       4 garlic cloves, peeled

3.       Add enough olive oil to sauté the anchovies and garlic until just browned – take off heat

4.       Cook the pasta and transfer to a serving bowl

5.       Stir through just a little olive oil (so pasta doesn’t stick), the lemon juice, pine nuts, breadcrumbs, parmesan & basil leaves (leave aside some to sprinkle on top to make it look pretty)

6.       Season with pepper to taste

7.       Sprinkle remaining basil leaves on top
