Background

This pasta with pesto dish is my emergency meal - I normally make it when I only have 10 minutes to magic up a decent meal and don't have any fresh ingredients in my fridge. But it's really delicious! I often use gluten-free, brown-rice pasta, which cooks in just 6 minutes, but you can use anything you've got. In this recipe I've added some sundried tomatoes, but sometimes I use olives or any leftover/jarred roasted veggies - such as roasted pepper, artichoke, courgette, aubergine etc.

Ingredients

100g pasta
1 Tbps pesto
3 or 4 pieces of sundried or blushed tomatoes
½ tsp chilli flakes (optional)
Basil leaves ( if you have any)
Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Cook the pasta according the packaging instructions.
Meanwhile, drain and thinly slice the sundried tomatoes or any vegetables you use.
Drain the pasta and mix with the pesto and the tomato slices.
Season to taste, add some chilli & grated cheese (if used).
Serve with some fresh basil leaves scattered on top.
