How to better use ChinEAT green Sichuan Pepper Grains and oil? Try this pasta recipe out!

Penne with Pesto alla Genovese is by far one of our favorite Italian pasta recipes. This dish is all about aromatics, with the charming basil being the protagonist of this sensational encounter. We decided to build a bridge here between an Italian classic, and the most beloved Sichuan spice, Green Sichuan Pepper. It is not just a great harmony of colors, both being green, but it is finding a balance of two great fragrances that, believe us, make this a perfect multicultural marriage.

INGREDIENTS: 

Penne pasta (150g)

Cherry tomatoes (around 200g)

Pesto (around 100g)

Green Sichuan Pepper (whole) (5g)

Green Sichuan Pepper Oil

Extra virgin olive oil (5 tbsp)

Spices (fennel seeds or alternative aromatics, and dried chilies for a spicy note)

Sugar (a pinch) (brown sugar for a better result)

Salt

Water

PREPARATION:

[1] Rinse the tomatoes, cut them gently on the top, and place them into an oven tray.

[5] Pour the pesto sauce into a pan with some extra virgin olive oil and Green Sichuan Pepper Oil (1 tbsp), cook at low heat.
