Ingredients

  • 225g Drained Chargrilled Peppers
  • 2 Egg Yolks
  • 60g Parmesan
  • 200g Pasta
  • 200ml Pasta Water
  • For The Garnish
  • 5g Fresh Basil
  • 10g Parmesan

Method

  1. Place a pot of salted water to the boil. Once boiling, cook the pasta for 1 min under al dente.
  2. Meanwhile, finely grate the cheese into a bowl. Drain and add ¾ the peppers to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into the cheese and crack ⅓ egg into the mixture. Separate the remaining eggs, discarding the whites. Add the yolks into the pepper mixture and whisk together.
  3. Thinly slice the remaining peppers.
  4. Once the pasta is cooked, drain, reserving water. Pour the pepper mixture onto the hot pasta. Place onto low heat whilst tossing together. Add a splash of pasta water if it gets too thick. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Stir the remaining peppers through.
  5. Share into bowls and finish with basil leaves and some more Parm.
