Are you shit at cooking? Are you a piece of shit that hasn’t eaten a vegetable since Re-O? Do you like just making a massive feed that you can munch on cold throughout the week because you hate doing things? Then boy, do I have the feed for you.
1. Start by sautéing onions in butter or oil, this will act as a base to carry the pesto throughout the pasta and make it go further.
2. Add garlic. As per, fuckin heaps is preferred.
3. While doing this, steam your broccoli, you can do this by putting your broccoli pieces in a large bowl with water in the bottom then covering and microwaving for 4 minutes.
4. Boil your pasta at the same time and make sure to put plenty of salt in the cooking water to flavour the pasta.
5. When the broccoli and pasta are cooked, stir them through the softened onions. You can then stir through your basil pesto, personally I like the basil and cashew dip for these pastas because they are cheaper and are less citrusy in flavour. But anything will do the trick.
Optional extra: to level this dish up you can grill some streaky bacon in the oven then chop and stir it through the finished product. You can also add Parmesan cheese – there’s already a bunch of it in your pesto, why not stretch it out further? And feel free to add more basil.
