Introducing: Spicy Pineapple Basil Pasta

Hey there, foodies! Today, I am excited to share with you a recipe that combines the sweetness of pineapple with the freshness of basil and a kick of spice. This dish is perfect for a summer gathering or whenever you want to add a tropical twist to your meal.

Ingredients:

  • linguine (200g)
  • fresh pineapple chunks (150g)
  • fresh basil leaves (20g)
  • red chili (1)
  • garlic cloves (2)
  • olive oil (30ml)
  • roasted nuts (50g)
  • parmesan cheese (50g)
  • salt
  • black pepper

Kitchen Tools:

  • saucepan
  • frying pan
  • chef’s knife
  • cutting board

I start by cooking the linguine in a large pot of salted water until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, I heat olive oil in a frying pan and sauté minced garlic, chopped red chili, and pineapple chunks until they caramelize slightly. Then, I add in torn basil leaves and roasted nuts for crunch.

Once the linguine is cooked, I add it to the frying pan and toss everything together, making sure the pasta is well coated in the flavorful pineapple mixture. I finish off by grating some parmesan cheese over the top and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

The combination of sweet pineapple, peppery basil, and spicy chili creates a harmonious blend of flavors that will tantalize your taste buds. The roasted nuts add a nice crunch to every bite, while the parmesan cheese brings a rich creaminess to the dish.

After all the ingredients are well incorporated, I transfer the Spicy Pineapple Basil Pasta to a serving dish, garnish with additional torn basil leaves, and serve immediately while it’s still hot. This dish is best enjoyed fresh off the stove to fully experience the vibrant flavors.

Approximate total weight of the cooked dish: 500g
Approximate number of servings: 2
Average weight of one serving: 250g
Approximate calorie count per serving: 400 calories

One tip to elevate this dish is to sprinkle some lemon zest over the pasta just before serving. The citrusy aroma will brighten up the flavors and add a refreshing twist to each bite.

I hope you give this Spicy Pineapple Basil Pasta a try and enjoy the unique combination of flavors. Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite protein or veggies to make it your own. Happy cooking!
