@johngs: My favourite healthy summer pasta recipe – perfect for a quick and easy summer dinner x John Serves 2 240g broccoli florets 120g spinach 200g rigatoni 60g chorizo 30g bread no crusts 2 tsp olive oil A handful of basil leaves 1 clove garlic 60g cream cheese Parm to serve Salt and pepper 1. Boil the broccoli for 3-4 minutes until just tender. Add the spinach and cook for 10 seconds. Drain and give a blast of cold water to set the colour. If you use a slotted spoon, you can use the same water to cook the pasta. 2. Cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes, as directed on the packet or until al dente. Scoop out some of the pasta water and drain. 3. Whilst the pasta cooks, pop the chorizo and bread into a mini chopped and blitz into a fine crumb. 4. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat and add the chorizo crumb. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 7-8 minutes until golden and crispy. Add a little salt if it needs it. 5. Chuck the broccoli, spinach, basil, garlic and 100ml of the pasta water into a blender. Blitz until smooth and transfer back into the saucepan. Add the cream cheese and season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the pasta and toss together. 6. Divide between two bowls. Top each with loads of the chorizo crumbs, plenty of Parm and dive on in. #summerrecipes #summerpasta #healthypasta #creatorsearchinsights
