Rating:
The fennel seeds and horseradish are essential!!! Everything else is the base flavour. The fennel and horseradish provide that piercing flavour which bolsters the entire meal.

Pasta in Chilli Pesto Coconut Sauce

Tonight's random recipe

• Egg Pasta
• Pesto
• Fried Chilli Flakes in oil (e.g. Ma's Brand)
• Coconut Milk

Cook coconut milk, pesto and chilli in pan. Mix with pasta. I served with a raw egg which when mixed gives a creamier taste.

Score: 3 Chefs

This worked really well, the fried chilli flakes really added to the flavour.
