Instructions
• Boil the kettle. • Grate courgette. Thinly slice apple into wedges. • Pour boiling water into a large saucepan. Add a pinch of salt, then bring to the boil over high heat. Cook fettuccine (see ingredients) in the boiling water until 'al dente', 9 minutes. • Reserve some pasta water (2 tbs for 2 people / 1/4 cup for 4 people), then drain pasta and return to saucepan. Drizzle with olive oil. TIP: 'Al dente' pasta is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. • Cook cherry tomatoes (see ingredients) and courgette, stirring occasionally, until blistered, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl.
TIP: Toss the salad just before serving to keep the leaves crisp.
• Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook garlic paste until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in cream (see ingredients) and vegetable stock powder and cook until slightly thickened, 1-2 minutes. • Stir in plant-based basil pesto, a pinch of chilli flakes (if using), fettuccine and reserved pasta water until heated through. Remove pan from heat, then stir in courgette and blistered tomatoes.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine apple, mixed salad leaves and balsamic glaze. Season to taste. • Divide creamy pesto and cherry tomato fettuccine between bowls. • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. • Serve with apple balsamic salad. Enjoy!
