Ingredients
-
300g La Molisanna Pasta
-
1 x tbsp Pukara Olive oil
-
2 x Small shallots, diced
-
4 x Garlic cloves, minced
-
130g Sun-dried tomato paste
-
125g x Soft goat cheese
-
50g (2 handfuls) rocket
-
25g (1 oz) toasted pine nuts (plus extra for serving)
-
1 tbsp grated parmesan (plus extra for serving)
-
Freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Sauté the diced shallots for about a minute, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Stir in the sun-dried tomato paste and let it cook until it starts to bubble.
Add the goat cheese, stirring until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water to loosen it.
Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss to coat, adjusting the consistency with more pasta water if needed.
Stir in the rocket and toasted pine nuts.
Finish with a sprinkle of grated parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra pine nuts and parmesan if desired.
