Tesco asked me to create a recipe using their Parioli range of Italian products. Not heard of it yet?
"Parioli is a range of
essential Italian groceries, produced entirely in Italy, for anyone
aspiring to cook the Roman way. Olives and antipasti are joined by two
extra virgin olive oils from southern Italy – one subtle,
one fruity – authentic Modena balsamic vinegar, luscious red tinned
tomatoes and four carefully selected regional pasta sauces including red
and green pesto. The Parioli range, which is sold exclusively in Tesco, also includes dried pasta made from high-quality durum wheat semolina."
For my recipe I used their spaghetti, extra virgin olive oil and artichoke hearts.
I sauted the mushrooms in the olive oil with garlic, then added the artichoke hearts and fresh herbs. I tossed it all through freshly cooked pasta and finished it off with some black pepper and veggie style parmesan.
It was very, very good!
In fact my mouth is watering just thinking about it.
I'll be making this one again. It's a fabulous weeknight pasta dish that is quick and easy to make.
I do hope you try it.
