Green Pea Fusilli with Grilled Artichokes, Peas and Lemon Pangritata

Bright, fresh and full of flavour - this pasta sings of spring. We love it with Seggiano’s Green Pea Fusilli and tender Artichoke Hearts, finished with a zesty pangritata for crunch, made using Lunaio Lemon Oil - a vibrant extra virgin olive oil with a citrus twist.

Ingredients

Method

Step 1 – Make the Pangritata

Warm half of the Lemon Olive Oil and all the butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat until the butter foams. Add the breadcrumbs and garlic, stirring until they turn golden and crisp. Season with a little salt and set aside to cool.

Step 2 – Cook the Pasta

Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil and cook the fusilli according to the packet instructions until al dente. Add the peas for the final two minutes. Drain, reserving about 250 ml of the cooking water, then return the pasta and peas to the pan over a low heat.

Step 3 – Add the Artichokes

Stir in the artichoke hearts, Parmesan, remaining Lemon Olive Oil and a splash of the reserved cooking water. Season to taste and toss everything gently until coated and glossy.

Step 4 – Finishing Touches

Spoon into bowls and top with the crunchy Pangritata, a few pea shoots and an extra sprinkle of Parmesan.
