Recipe: Spaghetti with sorrel and basil pesto
Pasta with aromatic herbs
September 22, 2011
I harvested sorrel since June, adding it to my
rooftop salads
like the
Salad with Basil Vinaigrette
, or creating sauces and pesto.
We enjoyed the
Sorrel and Sunflower Pesto
but this time I added some basil and chives, and also a Japalapenona chili. It's a Jalapeno variety chili, orange, crisp and fruity.
Spaghetti with Sorrel and Basil Pesto
Ingredients
Serves four:
340g spaghetti
40g sorrel leaves and stems
1 cup basil leaves
1 bunch (30-40 leaves) chives
1 red chili (optional)
40ml olive oil
50g pecorino cheese (or Parmesan)
40g almonds
Directions
Wash aromatic herbs and blend them at low speed with olive oil. Add the chili without stem and seeds, almonds and pecorino and blend until smooth.
Cook spaghetti normally and season with sorrel and basil pesto.
