Ingredients for your Orecchiette Pasta (makes 2 portions)<\/h5>\n

2 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
\nBelmorso Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/a>
\n1 tbsp capers
\n1 can tuna (or 3 anchovy fillets)
\n1 jar Belmorso Turnip Tops Pesto<\/a>
\n250 gr Belmorso Wholemeal Orecchiette<\/a> (or you can use the regular orecchiette)
\n3 tbsp breadcrumbs
\n1.5 tbsp grated parmesan cheese<\/p>\n

\"orecchiette<\/p>\n

Preparation<\/h5>\n

Start by peeling, washing, and cutting your garlic finely.<\/p>\n

Saut\u00e9 the garlic in a pan with a generous drizzle of Belmorso Extra Virgin Olive Oil.<\/p>\n

Fill a pot with water, add plenty of salt, and let it boil.<\/p>\n

\"orecchiette<\/p>\n

Add the capers and tuna to the garlic and leave to saut\u00e9 for a few minutes over low heat.<\/p>\n

Throw the orecchiette pasta to cook.<\/p>\n

\"orecchiette<\/p>\n

Then add the jar of turnip tops pesto to the garlic, tuna and capers mix. Mix well and leave to cook for a few more minutes.<\/p>\n

\"turnip<\/p>\n

In a separate pan lightly toast the breadcrumbs with the grated parmesan. Make sure you have your flame or hob temperature set to low. You only need to toast them for 2\/3 minutes, mixing with a spatula all the time.<\/p>\n

\"orecchiette<\/p>\n

Set some pasta water aside and drain the pasta.<\/p>\n

Taste your sauce and see if you think it needs salt. We didn’t add any to ours because of the sauce being already seasoned, plus the salt in the capers.<\/p>\n

\"turnip<\/p>\n

Transfer the pasta to the pan with the sauce, add the pasta water set aside, and mix well.<\/p>\n

Serve and sprinkle generously with the toasted parmesan breadcrumbs.<\/p>\n

\"turnip<\/p>\n

Feel free to add a crack of black pepper too.<\/p>\n

Buon appetito.<\/p>\n
