Green Herb Pasta

approx. 4 servings

Green sauce:

  • approx. 150 g bimi
  • 200 g frozen peas
  • 1 shallot
  • 30 g Tamsin (flat-leaf) parsley
  • 30 g Tamsin dill
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Lemon juice, salt & pepper

Ricotta filling (or substitute with just parmesan/feta):

  • 150–200 g ricotta
  • 1 dl parsley
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice + zest
  • 2 tbsp white wine vinegar
  • 0.5 dl grated parmesan
  • Salt & black pepper

Additionally:

  • approx. 300 g fusilli (spiral pasta)
  • 1 box Tamsin arugula
  • Toasted seeds/nuts

Preparation:

Pasta:

  • Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Reserve about 1 dl of cooking water before draining.

Green sauce:

  • Bring salted water to a boil. Add the bimi and cook until almost tender. Then add the peas and cook for another moment until just heated through.
  • Prepare the green sauce: add the peas, bimi, chopped shallot, dill, parsley, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Add a little pasta cooking water and blend until smooth and creamy.

Ricotta filling:

  • Prepare the ricotta filling: mix all filling ingredients in a bowl. Season to taste. (You can skip this step if you prefer and simply top the finished dish with parmesan or feta.)

Assembly and serving:

  • Mix the green sauce with the cooked pasta.
  • Serve the pasta on plates. Top with chopped Tamsin arugula, a dollop of ricotta filling (or crumbled feta/parmesan), and finish with toasted seeds or nuts.
