Review: 5 Stars! I can safely say that I was not expecting to score this recipe so highly. I am a hardened meat eater and don't particularly like or eat a whole lot of veg but I decided to really give it a go, so all this weeks recipes are coming out of this book.
It was very quick to make, literally the 20 minutes as it states in the book. I made a half portion to serve 2. Mistakenly bought regular salted pistachios and it was fine.
I blended the peppers, onions, garlic and cheese in my Kenwood Chef mini chopper attachment as the amount was pretty small and it fit just nicely. If I was making a serves 4 I might have to rethink this idea. Once it was blended, to be honest it looked like creamy yellowness and I didn't honestly like the look of it but hey ho, lets give it a chance eh?
Was it good? It certainly was, I was also quite surprised at how healthy it comes in at on the calories, I mean 388 calories for a tasty pasta dish. You can't turn your nose up at that!
Aga conversion: I used the simmering plate to soften the onions, peppers, and garlic. For those on a regular Aga (not a DC) you might want to start the frying on the boiling plate for a couple of minutes and then pop the lid on the pan and stick it on the floor of the simmering oven for 10 minutes. Pasta was boiled on the boiling plate, but could also be done in the pan on the floor of the roasting oven for those on normal Aga's (not DC).
Will I make this again? Yes definitely.
