Homemade Wild Garlic Pesto Pasta sauce.

Описание: Hi guys I recently got into a world of forage. I packed my foraging basket, wrapped myself up to avoid getting frozen and went to the woodlands. I found a wild garlic in the Hembury woods and I happily picked a few like a bunch of them. Took home and made some scrumptious pesto sauce for our pasta dinner and it was divine. Which I would like to share my recipe with you. The complete list of recipes is below.

Ingredients:

For Pesto Sauce-

Wild garlic ( a handful)
1 lemon
1 garlic clove
50g of toasted pine nuts/ walnuts
60g of parmesan/ hard cheese
Pepper ( pinch)
Salt ( pinch)
100ml extra olive oil/ rapeseed
Food processor

Procedure:

1. Wash the wild garlic leaves carefully. Dry or you can spin in a salad spinner if you have . Roughly chop the leaves.

2. Add chopped wild garlic, garlic clove, toasted pine nuts and hard cheese and blitz to the food processor. Add lemon juice and extra olive oil slowly. Add a pinch of pepper and salt then blitz until you get the consistency of the paste. You can use the pesto sauce straight away or you can store it in a closed glass jar and keep it in the fridge for about 2 weeks.

For Pasta Sauce:

Ingredients:
6 spoonfuls of home made wild garlic pesto
2 bottles of red pesto ( 190ml each bottle)
300g cooked brown pasta ( you use any pasta)
5 slices of smoked back bacon ( you can use unsmoked bacon also)
oil ( 1 teaspoon)

Procedure:

1. Cut the bacon into bite size pieces
2. Preheat the pan and when the pan is warm enough add the bacon and cook until it dries stirring occasionally.
3 Add a teaspoon of oil and keep stirring until the meat is crispy.
4. Set aside (to garnish)
5.In the same pan add 2 bottles of red pesto and then add 6 spoonfuls of our homemade wild garlic pesto. Stir occasionally for a minute or 2 then add the brown pasta. Continue stirring until the pasta is coated well with the sauce.
6. Serve in a bowl/ plate and enjoy.
