REVIEW: Pasta Evangelists Liguria's Pesto alla Genovese with Tagliatelle (Gluten Free)

I have wanted to try a gluten free option from Pasta Evangelists because I suffer with bad stomach issues when I eat gluten and have been on a gluten free diet a few times and it helped out a lot.

HOW IT COMES: I comes in a cardboard box with the minimum two dishes you choose plus ice bags and protective packaging, I love how the packaging is becoming more recyclable and environmentally friendly. Inside there are a few discount cards, sample of some Kiehl's which is odd in a food package box but I don't mind it. It comes with the menu booklet for the week, plus a book with a few recipes in which I will be trying out and will do a blog post on it for you lot to read.


ABOUT THE DISH: TEXT


INGREDIENTS:

  • Tagliatelle (165g): Flour Blend (White Rice, Brown Rice, Potato, Tapioca, Buckwheat, Maize, Quinoa), Xanthan Gum, Water, Olive Oil, Salt, Turmeric, Sunflower Lecythin

  • Pesto alla Genovese (70g): Basil (51%), Olive Oil, Vegetarian Italian Cheese (Milk, Salt, Vegetarian Rennet, Egg Lysozyme), Pine Kernels, Garlic, Salt

  • Boiled Potato (35g): Potato

  • Fine Beans (25g): Green Beans

  • Vegetarian Grated Cheese (8g): Milk, Salt, Rennet (Microbial Coagulant), Egg Lysozyme


HOW TO MAKE:

Note: Before transferring to the pan, untangle any strands of pasta that might be stuck together.

  1. Bring a large saucepan of generously salted water to the boil.

  2. Cook the pasta in the boiling water for 2 - 3 minutes. Stir regularly to prevent sticking.

  3. Whilst the pasta cooks, put the pesto in a large bowl. Add 1tbsp (15ml) of the boiling cooking water to the sauce and mix together.

  4. In the final 30 seconds of cooking time, add the fine beans and potato to the boiling water. Allow to cook for 30 seconds before straining the mixture.

  5. Transfer the pasta, potato and beans to the sauce, and toss gently to coat.

  6. Finally, plate and sprinkle with the Italian cheese. Buon appetito.

I wasn't really keen on this one, it was okay but I didn't really like the photos of fine beans, the taste was slightly over powering of something. I probably won't purchase this one again.

This is not a sponsored blog post, I paid for the items, wanted to share with you this company with my honest opinion but since I love it why not get 25% off of your first order by clicking here, I’ll also get £5 off too, so it’s win-win, more pasta for me plus discount for you!
