To get started with this particular recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have red and green pesto pasta using 5 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook it.
The ingredients needed to make Red and Green Pesto Pasta:
- Make ready 100 g Plain Flour (+ extra)
- Take 1 Medium Egg
- Take 1/2 tsp Salt

- Get 1 tsp Red Pesto
To warm up the pasta, boil the kettle, place the pasta into a sieve and pour boiling water over the sieve with pasta. Place the pasta in a mixing bowl, stir in the pesto and add roasted tomatoes. Mix gently to ensure the pasta is well coated in the pesto. Add additional salt & pepper at this stage, if required.
Instructions to make Red and Green Pesto Pasta:
- In a large bowl, weigh out the flour, add the salt and make a well.
- Crack the whole egg in to a cup and mix with a fork.
- Dust your hands with some of the flour and then pour the egg in to the well of the flour.
- Now bringing in the flour from the edges start to combine with the egg. At this point the dough will still be quite dry… Don't worry!!
- Take 2 smaller bowls and put a teaspoon of each pesto in to them.
- Divide the dough roughly in to 2 and add each half to the pesto bowls.
- Now one at a time - and washing your hands in between! - knead the pesto in to the dough. The dough now will be quite wet!
- Add another teaspoon of Plain Flour to each bowl and knead until you have a nice firm pasta dough.
- This can now be left in the fridge until required for rolling and cooking. - The dough can be easily rolled using a pasta machine or even just a good old fashioned rolling pin, making sure surfaces are well floured of course!
- Roll in to whatever you want, whether it's Tagliatelle, Pappardelle or Lasagne sheets! Cook in boiling salted water for around 2 minutes depending on your preference!
Mix gently to ensure the pasta is well coated in the pesto. Add additional salt & pepper at this stage, if required. Transfer the drained pasta to the skillet with the mushrooms (kept over low heat) and add reserved pasta water, pesto and cheese. Serve warm or at room temperature. Once the pasta and pesto are mixed up in a big bowl, I'll add lots of other ingredients to add even more flavor to the salad.
