Romesco-style pasta

Romesco is a brick-orange, smoky Catalan red pepper dip, that is often served with blackened calçots – a bulbous leek and spring onion hybrid. Smoky, nutty and luxuriously silky, it also works brilliantly in this easy vegan pasta recipe. This is one of those ‘accidentally vegan’ dishes that everyone will enjoy. Top with our Roasted and Salted Marcona Almonds for added crunch.

Method

step 1
Heat a large frying pan over a high heat with 1 tbsp olive oil. Add the leeks (2), and allow to cook, undisturbed, for 2 minutes, until they are beginning to char. Mix the leeks and continue to cook for a further 3-4 minutes, until charred and softened. Season with salt.
step 2
Lower the heat to medium and add the ground almonds (25 g) to the frying pan followed by the red pepper dip (125 g) and cook for 3 minutes, until bubbling. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
step 3
Meanwhile, heat a large saucepan filled with hot water and bring to the boil. Add the pasta (200 g) and cook for 11-13 minutes, until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
step 4
Add the pasta to the sauce with a splash of pasta cooking water. Toss well until glossy.
step 5
Serve the pasta in bowls topped with the marcona almonds (1 handful) and parsley (as needed). Drizzle with some extra virgin olive oil to finish, if you like.
