what you will need
250gr cheese stuffed tortellinis
100 gr smoked salmon (the kind you’d normally put on a sandwich)
a handfull of runner beans or a broccoli chopped into florets
and a jar of green pesto 80gr
chuck the tortellinis in a pan of water and chuck the greens of choice right in there with them then bring the water to a boil and simmer till you deem the tortellinis properly cooked
whilst the pasta is cooking cut the salmon in to strips
then drain the pasta/greens mix in a collindar and chuck em right back into the pan (now off the heat or the pasta will stick)
add the pesto (i just use the whole jar…but add to taste i guess) and add your strips of salmon
stir the whole thing round to spread the pesto and salmon nicely…the heat from the tortellinis will lightly cook the salmon
and hey presto 15 minutes of no effort dinner is served
serves 2 easy
serve with parmesan
welp…the subheader and subtext fell off as me computer crapped out halfway through posting…oh well… shoulda double checked that before posting the saved draft
Nice! Next time I have a bunch of basil I’ll make this, because you know I have to make the pesto from scratch. I have learned my lesson as far as home made pasta goes, that is, it’s a fail for me.
@Sedevilc just realized I completely forgot to reply to you
Homemade pesto will probably make it even betterer 🙂
As would doubling the amount of salmon…its expensive here so I usually go a little lean with it
@Farscythe you are a stealthy FYCE fellow! Win-win!
@Elliecoo teehee sneaky sneaky
i figured its far too simple for a FYCE but still wanted to share it…so this post happened 🙂
