Pea & Pesto Spaghetti
This vibrant spaghetti recipe takes classic pasta and pesto up a notch by topping it with an oozy poached egg.
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4 people
Preparation
1. Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti to pack instructions, adding the peas for the final two minutes, then drain, reserving 1 tbsp cooking water. Allow to steam-dry for 1 min, then transfer to a large serving bowl and cover.
2. Refill the pan with water and bring to a simmer. Make a whirlpool in the centre by stirring rapidly with the handle of a wooden spoon. When the whirlpool has almost completely subsided, crack the eggs directly into it. Poach the eggs for 3 mins over a gentle heat, then transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon.
3. Toss the pesto through the spaghetti with the reserved cooking water, then divide between 4 bowls or plates.
4. Top with a poached egg, grated cheese and some black pepper. Serve with a side of garlic bread.
