Roast Pepper Harissa Pasta
Method
- Firstly, toast your walnuts for a couple of minutes in a dry frying pan over a medium heat. Remove from the heat, tip onto a plate, and set aside. Alternatively, roast in the oven for 4-5 minutes, at 180C/160C fan.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and add the pasta. Cook until just al dente and drain, reserving a cupful of pasta water.
- Meanwhile, add the peppers, olive oil, harissa paste, smoked garlic paste, red wine vinegar, and 2/3 of the feta to a blender or food processor.
- Blend until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the sauce to a large frying pan and bring to a gentle simmer. Add in the pasta and a splash of pasta water to the pan and mix well.
- Divide between two bowls and serve with the rest of the feta crumbled over and an extra drizzle of olive oil. If you like spice, sprinkle over some chilli flakes.
