[March recipe]

Linguine with black olive pesto

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2 tbsp pine nut kernels
• 1⁄2 pack fresh parsley, stalks removed
• 1 clove garlic, roughly chopped
• Finely grated zest and juice of 1 unwaxed lemon
• 2 tbsp black olive paste
• 4 tbsp olive oil
• 40g freshly grated Parmesan, plus some extra to serve
• 350g dried linguine or 2 x 250g bags fresh egg linguine
• Pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

1. Lightly toast the pine nut kernels in a dry frying pan over a gentle heat until golden brown. Transfer to a food processor with the parsley, garlic, lemon zest and black olive paste. Switch on and drizzle in enough olive oil to form a thick paste. Transfer to a large bowl, stir in the Parmesan and season to taste.
2. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions. Drain, reserving a little of the cooking liquid and toss with the olive pesto. Check the seasoning and stir in lemon juice to taste. Serve with extra Parmesan.
