Sautéed radicchio and crumbled walnuts tossed through al dente spaghetti make a make a simple healthy vegetarian supper for two.
Ingredients
  • 150g brown rice (or regular) spaghetti
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • half a head of radicchio, shredded
  • 40g walnuts, crumbled
  • 2 tbs cashew cream (or coconut milk or creme fraiche)
  • splash of balsamic vingear
  • black pepper
  • salt
  • Olive oil
Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to packet instructions. I like Doves Spaghetti and it cooks in 6-8 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile put a frying pan on to heat with 2 tsps olive oil. Saute the garlic for around 30 seconds before adding the radicchio with a pinch of salt. Cook until it starts to wilt (about a minute), before adding the walnuts. Allow the walnuts to warm in the heat of the oil and the raddichio for a further minute before stirring through the cream, along with a few tbs of the starchy spaghetti cooking liquid.
  3. Once the sauce has warmed through add a splash of balsamic vinegar and crunch of black pepper, and then finally drain your pasta when it is ready and add it to the pan. Toss the sauce around the spaghetti taste to season and then plate up.
  4. Finish with a final grind of black pepper and a drizzle of your finest olive oil.
Notes
Serve with a seasonal side salad.
