Calories: 376kcal
Ingredients
- 300 g pasta (~ 10 1/2 oz) - I used farfalle
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 7 pieces hot Peppadew piquante peppers
- A few sprigs fresh parsley
- 1/2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 2 tbsp cream cheese
- 1 tbsp Greek yogurt
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 1 handful fresh watercress
- 3 tbsp pine nuts
Instructions
- Boil the pasta in plenty of water until cooked al dente (around 12-15 minutes).
- Meanwhile, add the peeled garlic clove to a mini food processor, along with the Peppadews and fresh parsley. Blitz until roughly chopped.
- Add the lemon juice, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and a generous amount of salt and pepper. Blitz again to produce a fairly smooth sauce (a few lumps are okay!).
- When the pasta is cooked, drain it, and add the sauce, the watercress, and the pine nuts. Mix well to combine. Place over a low heat for a minute or two, stirring constantly, to heat through, then serve.
Notes
If you can't find Peppadew peppers, you can always use a jar of roasted red peppers instead. They don't have quite the same sweet, spicy flavour, but they will still taste great.
