Spaghetti Verde

"Verde" in translation means "green"...therefore "green pasta".  I didn`t have green pasta, so I decided to dress it as green as possible. 

Serves 4

1 kg spaghetti or which ever pasta You might have or prefer

150 g green peas

200 g broccoli

4 tbsp  pesto

1 Chinese garlic

bunch fresh coriander, lemon basil and thyme

2 green Poblano chillies 

1/2 stick  leek

60 g spring onion

70 g green olives

20 g lightly grated Parmesan cheese

loads of extra virgin olive oil

some rocket salad to top  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eruca_sativa

black pepper, salt and sugar to season

few drops lemon juice and some grated rind

Bring a big pot with water to the boil and add salt. Cook the pasta according to type (for spaghetti usually 7-8 min).

On a hot pan  with a little oil startle the chillies, leek, spring onion, green peas and olives. Season lightly, olives give also salty taste. 

In a food processor blitz the pesto, 100 ml olive oil, coriander, lemon basil and thyme. Season.

When the pasta is ready, drain almost all the water but save a bit and combine with the rest of ingredients. Top with grated Parmesan cheese, rocket salad and little olive oil.

Serve!
