Cooking Instructions:

1. TO COOK THE TAGLIATELLE:
Gently separate the strands of fresh tagliatelle with your hands. Once the pot of water is at a rapid boil, add the tagliatelle to the water and cook for 2-3 mins. Drain in a colander and drizzle with oil to stop the pasta from sticking.
2. TO COOK THE VEGETABLES AND CREAMY PESTO SAUCE:
Pick the mint leaves, discarding the stalks, and set aside. Cut the broccoli into small bite-sized pieces. Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Once hot, add the broccoli, season with salt and pepper and cook for 2 mins. Add the baby spinach and cook for 2 mins until wilted. Add the creamy pesto sauce and peas, stir and cook for 1-2 mins.
3. TO FINISH THE TAGLIATELLE:
Add the tagliatelle to the pasta sauce, season with salt and gently toss to combine.
TO SERVE:
Spoon the tagliatelle into bowls and sprinkle with mint and toasted macadamias. Season with freshly cracked black pepper.
