Artichoke Pesto Pasta

Method

  • 1. Cook pasta as per instructions, or until cooked al dente. Drain and cover until needed.
  • 2. Add the butter to a small saucepan and let melt on a low heat.
  • 3. When the butter is melted, add the flour and stir until it becomes a paste.
  • 4. Add the milk (approx 1/4 pint), slowly, until the paste loosens and you have enough white sauce for two people.
  • 5. Heat the white sauce until it thickens (approx 5 mins), then add the artichoke hearts to warm through. If the artichoke is not cooked then steaming beforehand will soften them up.
  • 6. Add the white sauce to the pasta along with the pesto and stir in.
  • 7. If needed, place over the heat to warm the pasta again before serving with crusty bread!
