Recipe

If you don't have much time to cook or fancy a light lunch at home or to take to work try this. I've just had it for my dinner.

- Roast some cherry vine tomatoes in the oven for about 15mins at 2000c or use raw if your in a rush.

- Boil some Orzo pasta for about 6 mins.

- Whilst pasta is boiling, cut up some red onion, peppers, basil and chives.

- Gently cooks some spinach until its wilted.

- Cool down all elements and mix together in a bowl with chopped basil, chives, oil and vinegar.

- Make the dressing by liquidising a big handful of fresh basil, garlic, parmesan cheese with extra virgin olive oil, you'll need a quite a bit of this, just keep pouring in until you have a nice runny dressing.

- Place the smoked salmon on a plate and sprinkle a pinch of sugar, sea salt and dill on top.

Plate up

I use a round rosti ring which I place in the middle of a plate and place the pasta in it, then take away the rosti ring, and grate fresh parmesan cheese on top and using a squeezy bottle drizzle the pesto dressing on top and around the edge as shown in the picture above. I then cut the thin Swedish bread into triangles and drizzle with pesto dressing.
