Spaghetti with artichokes & pesto recipe

Ingredients

  • 350g spaghetti
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 4 tbsp green pesto
  • 50g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated, plus extra to serve (optional)
  • 390g can artichoke, drained, quartered and dried
  • 50g pine nuts

Method

  • Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or jug, beat the eggs together with the milk, pesto, Parmesan, artichokes and seasoning.

  • Heat a small pan on a medium heat and add the pine nuts. Toast for a few mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until they are pale golden. Keep your eye on them as they can catch and burn quickly.

  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander and tip back into the pan. Put the pan onto a low heat and pour over the egg mixture, tossing together to coat all of the pasta in the sauce – take care not to heat it for too long or it will start to scramble.

  • Toss through the toasted pine nuts and serve with extra Parmesan at the table, if you like.
