Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Faire bouillir l'eau

    Remplis la casserole d'eau à moitié et porte à ébullition à feu vif. Ajoute une pincée de sel.

  2. Cuire les pâtes

    Plonge les 160 g de pâtes dans l'eau bouillante. Laisse cuire 10 min à feu moyen sans couvrir.

  3. Égoutter les pâtes

    Verse les pâtes dans la passoire et réserve un verre d'eau de cuisson.

    Tip · Garde toujours un peu d'eau de cuisson des pâtes, elle sert à ajuster la texture du plat si c'est trop sec.

  4. Couper les tomates

    Lave les tomates, retire le pédoncule et coupe-les en petits dés sur la planche à découper.

  5. Faire chauffer le pesto

    Verse le pesto dans la poêle à feu doux. Ajoute la moitié du parmesan (10 g) et mélange 1 min pour le faire fondre légèrement.

    Tip · Ne fais pas griller le pesto, juste le réchauffer pour qu'il devienne plus onctueux sans brûler.

  6. Mélanger les ingrédients

    Dans le bol, mélange les pâtes égouttées avec le pesto chaud, les dés de tomates et le reste de parmesan (10 g). Ajoute un peu d'eau de cuisson si nécessaire pour lier.
