Instructions

Girasoli Time

1

Boil a full kettle.
Pour the boiled water into a saucepan with ½ tsp salt.
Boil the girasoli, 3-5 mins.
Once cooked, drain. Drizzle with oil and gently stir to prevent it from sticking.

Sauce Time

2

Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan on high heat.
Fry the mushrooms, 5-6 mins. Season with salt and pepper.
Stir through the creme fraiche, veg stock paste, pesto, peas and water (see pantry). Simmer, 1-2 mins.

Bring Together

3

Add the girasoli to the pesto sauce. Stir gently to combine.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Add a splash of water if it's too thick.

Dinner's Ready!
