Method

Cooking Pasta

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the campanelle pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Making Pesto Verde

  1. 2

    Prepare the Pesto

    In a food processor, combine the basil leaves, pine nuts, garlic cloves, and Parmesan cheese. Pulse until finely chopped. With the processor running, gradually add the olive oil and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt to taste.

Preparing Mint Ricotta

Poaching Eggs

    Poach the Eggs

    In a saucepan, bring water to a gentle simmer and add vinegar. Crack each egg into a small bowl and gently slide into the simmering water. Poach for about 3-4 minutes or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    In a large bowl, combine the cooked campanelle pasta and pesto verde. Toss until the pasta is well coated. Serve the pasta topped with a dollop of mint ricotta and a poached egg on top.
