Ingredients

Method

  • STEP 1

    Cook the pasta following pack instructions. Meanwhile, put the frozen edamame in a bowl, pour over 2 tbsp of water and cook in the microwave on high for about 5 mins. Leave in the water, covered, for 2 mins more. Alternatively, simmer the edamame in a pan of boiling water for 2-3 mins.

  • STEP 2

    To make the pesto, put 150g of the edamame, the oil, cashews, garlic, parmesan and some seasoning in a blender and whizz to a smooth paste. You can add up to 6 tbsp water to help it blend if the mixture is too thick.

  • STEP 3

    Once the pasta is cooked, stir in the pesto and the remaining edamame, then serve with the rocket on the side and an extra grating of cheese, if you like.
