Ingredients

  • 200g orzo
  • 240g sundried tomatoes
  • 140g pitted olives, sliced
  • 220g babyleaf salad
  • 400g burrata, drained
  • 150g cashew nuts, toasted
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 250ml extra virgin olive oil
  • 200g fresh basil, leaves picked

Method

Step 1

First cook the orzo according to pack instructions, until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water, until cool. Place into a bowl and drizzle with a little olive oil so it doesn’t stick together. Set aside.

Step 2

Rescue a few toasted cashews and basil leaves and set aside to sprinkle over later.

Step 3

Now make the pesto – put the rest of the cashews, the garlic, olive oil, basil and a good pinch of salt and pepper into a food processor and whizz up to form a loose paste.

Step 4

Add 4tbsp of pesto to the cooled pasta and mix well.

Step 5

Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and add the sundried tomatoes, olives, baby leaf salad and burrata – you can leave the burrata whole or tear into pieces. Spoon over some of the remaining pesto, and gently toss everything together.

Step 6

Serve onto individual plates. Chop the cashew nuts you saved earlier and sprinkle over each serving with the extra basil leaves.
