Categories     Main course, Pasta

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

350g spaghetti
2 eggs
2 tbsp milk
4 tbsp green pesto
50g parmesan (or vegetarian alternative), grated, plus extra to serve (optional)
390g can artichoke , drained, quartered and dried
50g pine nuts

Steps:

  • Cook the spaghetti following pack instructions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl or jug, beat the eggs together with the milk, pesto, Parmesan, artichokes and seasoning.
  • Heat a small pan on a medium heat and add the pine nuts. Toast for a few mins, shaking the pan occasionally, until they are pale golden. Keep your eye on them as they can catch and burn quickly.
  • Once the pasta is cooked, drain in a colander and tip back into the pan. Put the pan onto a low heat and pour over the egg mixture, tossing together to coat all of the pasta in the sauce - take care not to heat it for too long or it will start to scramble.
  • Toss through the toasted pine nuts and serve with extra Parmesan at the table, if you like.
