Ingredients

½ cup olive oil
4 tablespoons basil pesto
2 teaspoons chilli paste/mince
3 garlic cloves crushed
¼ cup balsamic vinegar
1 cup of chicken or vegetable stock or water
salt to season
½ cup of sundried tomatoes strips
5 spring onions

Notes from Rouba

Chicken stock can also be used instead of vegetable stock.
Thin spaghetti works best for this recipe.

Method

Step 1.

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons of salt. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions. Drain.

Step 2.

Meanwhile, while the pasta is cooking, using a wok or large saucepan, add oil and Sauté the pesto, chilli, and garlic over medium heat until soft but not golden, for approximately 1 minute. Lower the heat, add balsamic vinegar and stock/water. Season with salt and simmer for approximately 10 minutes.

Step 3.

Once the pesto sauce is ready, add the sundried tomatoes and spring onion. Toss through with the spaghetti. Finish off with cracked black pepper.
