Ingredients – below is a rough guide, as quantities are not so important, and are more important to us, to ensure quantity and fill levels, you can at home have as much as you like!
Cook some of your favourite pasta as per the cooking instructions, drain and allow to cool in some water in the fridge. We use fusilli pasta as we like the shape in the bowl, but most shapes will work well, so experiment and let us know.
We then mix this once cooled with some basil pesto. We unfortunately cannot use pine nuts, as we are totally nut free – although some people may argue about this point when they meet us. If you like nuts, use them, or add some toasted walnuts, for a total nut fix.
We then mix in some finely chopped baby spinach leaves, along with some roughly chopped vine ripened tomatoes – ‘elegance’ are our preferred variety if in season.
Scatter over 10 mozzarella pearls (sorry to be precise, but we have to keep our techy people happy). We use a 2g Italian Mozzarella Pearl, fresh and not frozen as many others use. Buffalo mozzarella, gently teased apart would work equally as well.
This is served with a special basil pesto salad dressing, the same as the pasta is coated in, so add as much or as little as you wish.

You'll see we have provided information on each product’s contribution to your GDA. GDA’s are something that we keep a keen eye on, we are proud to say we won’t launch a product if it contributes disproportionately to your GDA of fat or salt, and have constantly demonstrated this by not launching products which are over the top in these areas. Having said that, since we are a vegetarian brand and many of our products contain cheese, we are not pretending to be a 'low fat' healthy brand. What we aim for is a balance of taste and health, and an honesty that goes with all our products, so you know what you’re eating and can make sure you eat a balanced, healthy diet on a daily basis.
