Speedy Lunch/Dinner - Recipe 1: Buckwheat Pasta with Pesto


There will be evenings when you either don't have time or don't feel like spending time in the kitchen. This recipe is super quick as it really only takes as long as it takes to boil the pasta. As mentioned previously, when using things like buckwheat pasta make sure it is made with 100% gluten free products.


Serving 4
4 handfuls of gluten free pasta (I suspect it is around 250-300 g) - you can add or subtract as you like - I used buckwheat (this one was 80% buckwheat/20% rice flour) but you can also use brown rice, corn or any other gluten free pasta.
4-5 tblsp basil pesto (you can add as you see fit) - I previously recommended Seggioano's pesto; other than not containing parmesan it is also delicious
A handful of pine nuts - dry-roasted on the pan
2 handfuls fresh rockets - roughly chopped
Optional: 1/2 buffalo mozzarella cut into smaller squares
Olive oil, salt and pepper for seasoning

Boil the pasta as per the instructions on the package or until al dente. Mix it with the pesto adding as much as you see fit. Mix in the other ingredients and serve. You can season it further using a good olive oil, salt and pepper.
