Let’s make pasta with wild garlic pesto. You need pesto of course, pasta, eggs and cream. That is all. Salt to taste of course and you can eat 😉
Ingredients
450g (about 3 cups) of your favorite pasta
2 cups (4 deciliters) heavy cream
3 eggs, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons wild garlic pesto
Directions
- Cook your favourite pasta according to the packet instructions.
- While the pasta is cooking, mix the heavy cream, lightly beaten eggs and wild garlic pesto in a bowl. You can add more pesto, I don’t think you can go wrong at this stage, it really depends on your taste.
- Once the pasta is cooked to your liking, simply drain it and return it to the pot.
- Pour the wild garlic pesto mixture over the cooked pasta in the pot.
- Gently toss the pasta with the sauce until it is well coated and heated through. Once the eggs are cooked enough, the sauce will thicken and you will have a deliciously creamy sauce.
- Serve hot and enjoy the simplicity and deliciousness of wild garlic pasta!
Notes
- If you like, you can add parmesan cheese at the beginning or during cooking.
- At the end of cooking you can add extra dried or freshly chopped wild garlic leaves for extra flavour.
A few tips to consider when making this recipe
Choice of pasta: The recipe is versatile and will work with any type of pasta. Whether you prefer spaghetti, penne or fusilli, choose one that will hold the sauce well.
Amount of pesto: The recipe calls for 3-4 tablespoons of wild garlic pesto, but you can adjust this to taste.
If you like a stronger wild garlic flavour, feel free to add more.
Creaminess: For a richer, creamier sauce, experiment with the ratio of eggs to cream. Adding an extra egg can make the sauce thicker.
Cheese: Parmesan cheese is a great addition for extra flavour. You can mix it into the sauce or sprinkle it on top before serving.
Extra flavour: Freshly chopped wild garlic leaves, added at the end of cooking, will enhance the freshness of the dish and give an extra burst of flavour.
You can also add dried bear’s garlic leaves, but in this case add them just before the end of the cooking to loosen them up and allow the heat to extract the best of the dried bear’s garlic flavour
