Got any povo meals you want to share? They don't have to be nutritious just cheap.

Remember to be kind to other people's suggestions please.

Pesto pasta is povo and you can make it a bit fancier if you want

Makes 1 serve

Required

  • 100g pasta
  • About 50g green pesto
  • Cheese and pepper to taste

Optional

  • 40g of frozen peas (baby peas are nicest)
  • 10 to 15g of sundried tomato slivers

Method

  1. Start pasta cooking as per packet instructions
  2. Add pesto and optional sundried tomato to your serving bowl
  3. 1 minute before the pasta is cooked to your liking, add frozen peas in with the pasta
  4. Once pasta and peas are cooked, strain immediately and mix with the bowl of pesto
  5. Season with cheese and pepper to taste

Note

  • Pesto with added cheese (e.g. Barilla Pesto Genovese) is very salty, use less salt than normal in your pasta water. Or just choose a different pesto.

There's only 2 rules that I can think of right now
Rule 1: Don't ridicule
Rule 2: Don't be an arsehole

If you can think of anything else let me know. Cheers.
