Ingredients

  • 100g Essential Spinach, leaves washed
  • 150g frozen Essential Garden Peas, defrosted
  • 2 clove/s garlic
  • 1 Essential Lemon, scrubbed, zest and juice
  • 150ml Essential Double Cream
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 40g Cooks’ Ingredients Soft White Breadcrumbs
  • 500g pack fresh Essential Tagliatelle
  • ½ x 25g pack mint, finely chopped

Method

  1. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Meanwhile, in a blender, blitz the spinach, peas, garlic, lemon zest, cream and 1 tbsp oil until smooth. Pour into a small saucepan and simmer on a low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste.

  2. In a small frying pan, heat the remaining oil over a medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and cook until golden and toasted, for about 1 minute. Season and set aside to cool. Cook the pasta according to pack instructions.

  3. Drain the pasta, reserving 100ml cooking water. Return the pasta to its pan, add the pea sauce and lemon juice, then toss to coat. Add the pasta water a splash at a time, until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Mix the mint with the toasted breadcrumbs and serve over the pasta.

Cook’s tip

Our fresh pasta is super quick to cook, and made with free range eggs for a more luxurious flavour and texture. Dried pasta in the cupboard already? Start the recipe by boiling 400g for 10 minutes, or until just tender.
