Roast vegetable pesto pasta salad

I love pepper – JD, 4

The lovely folk at Morrisons set me a challenge this week: could I make enough delicious pasta salad to feed a family of 4-6, using only M Savers products?

The answer? Yes, yes I could. Actually, the whole lot only cost £1.32. Here’s what we did…

Ingredients

  • 300g M Savers Pasta Twists
  • 1 M Savers Courgette
  • 1 large M Savers Red Pepper
  • Dash of olive oil
  • 2 tbsp of M Savers Green Pesto
  • Juice of 1/2 M Savers Lemon

Instructions

  1. Cut the courgette lengthways into quarters, then chop in 1cm pieces
  2. Roughly chop the pepper into similar size pieces
  3. Put the courgette and pepper into roasting tray, toss in the oil and bake at 200C (180C fan oven) for 10 minutes
  4. Meanwhile, cool the pasta until al dente
  5. Drain the pasta and mix with the pesto, lemon juice and roast vegetable
  6. Allow to cool before storing in the fridge until ready to serve

Disclosure: Morrisons sent me a £10 voucher to buy the ingredients for their recipe. No payment was otherwise received and all posts are 100% honest.

  1. Thank you for this Emily- looks perfect for a picnic and I *think* I could do it :)

  2. Looks very simple and easy. I guess you could even do the roasted veg in advance if you needed to.

  3. That looks and sounds really tasty, nothing wrong with savers products.

  4. Yum!! Will be making later but might have to add red onion!
    Thanks x
