Ingredients
- 180g fettuccine egg noodle pasta #1
- 200g aubergine (net weight - cut into 1cm cubes)
- 200g burrata (or use 100g mozzarella + 100g double cream)
- 50g pine nuts
- 10g (a large handful) fresh basil leaves
- 40g extra virgin olive oil + a splash for frying
- 6 baby plum tomatoes (about 100g)
- fine Himalayan pink salt
- freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- add a splash of olive oil to a frying pan and pan-fry aubergine cubes for about 5 minutes or until golden; leave aside in frying pan.
- toast pine nuts for 3-5 minutes (I used my halogen oven, top rack) and set aside to cool down.
- using a blender, blitz burrata, olive oil, basil and 60g water until you have a smooth pesto, then season to taste.
- transfer pesto to the aubergine frying pan and turn heat on to medium.
- once bubbling, add fettuccine and stir for a couple of minutes to bring everything to temperature.
- finally, stir in the pine nuts, and serve with quartered tomatoes on top.
Notes
The blender I use is THIS: inexpensive, but well-built and effective.
Metric kitchen scales are an inexpensive yet invaluable gadget to ensure accurate measurement of ingredients. Store them upright in a cupboard or over your worktop and they'll only take up a tiny bit of space. Click HERE for the ones I use.
