Tonight’s a quick recipe that makes 4 decent sized serves, only takes 15 mins and is DEEElicious. (That’s according to Bec BTW)

ham & mushroom pesto pasta

Ingredients

  • 500gm shell pasta
  • 1 small onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 2 teaspoons of olive oil
  • 190g basil pesto paste (we use Barilla, it’s got the highest percentage of basil)
  • 10 slices of finely shaved ham, roughly chopped
  • 10-15 button mushrooms, diced into cubes
  • Half or a whole zucchini (totally optional)
  • Sour cream to taste

Recipe

  1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add pasta with a dash of olive oil
  2. In a large saucepan on medium heat, fry the olive oil, onion & garlic for 2-3 mins (until onion slightly transparent)
  3. Add mushrooms & zucchini to saucepan, heat for another 6-7 mins (until mushrooms are soft & slightly browned)
  4. When the pasta is al dente, drain water in colander, and add the pasta back to the large pot, on very low heat
  5. Quickly stir the pesto through pasta and add the ham and veges
  6. Serve and add sour cream to taste (I prefer without)
