penne with parsley pesto, avocado and crispy bacon
This is the last little easy supper I made using the parsley pesto I bought at Giovanni’s the other day.
This is so simple to make it doesnt even require a recipe.
Cook your desired pasta to al dente. I love whole wheat pasta these days. Stir in a couple of tablespoons of parsley pesto, or basil pesto. Chop in a few chunks of fresh avocado. Fry up a few rashers of bacon until crispy and toss the whole lot together. Grate over more parmesan if you like.
Pasta + parsley + garlic + olive oil + Parmesan + avo + crispy bacon = a shiny happy combination of flavours.
The other recipes I made using parsley pesto:
This looks lovely Sam, although I would like mine without the Avo. Something about heat with Avo freaks me out! 😉 But I love how long that pesto lasted you!
Great flavour combo – three of my favourite things. I’d probably add room temperature avo at the very end. As also don’t like sound of warm avo – but never actually tried it.
I hear you on that Ally and also don’t like warm avo, but I like cold avo on warm things (gacamole, nachos, avo on pizza etc). And was pleased the pesto stretched over 3 recipes (all made in the same week)
Hi Melanie, yes the avo is room temp and defs only added in at the end.
I want a big bowl of that right now please! Do you deliver? 🙂
