With a knife, make an x-shaped cut on the tomatoes and put them into a pan full of boiling water for 30-40 seconds.

Remove them from the pan with a ladle, keeping the cooking water to one side to cook the pasta in.

Cool the tomatoes in a container with cold water. Once they’ve cooled, peel and cut them into four and remove the seeds.

Put the tomato pieces into a blender with the pine nuts, skinned almonds, walnuts, peeled and finely chopped garlic, mint leaves, tinned cherry tomatoes, Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Blend carefully into a smooth mixture and season with salt and a pinch of pepper.

5.

Bring the tomato cooking water to the boil, add a handful of coarse salt and cook the bavette pasta.

6.

In the meantime, pour the pesto into a large bowl.

7.

When the pasta is cooked al dente, drain it. Add it to the bowl with a tablespoon of oil and mix.

Carbon footprint



To limit our impact on the environment, we advise you to remain within 1 kg CO2-equivalent per meal, including all the courses you eat. Bear in mind that plant-based dishes are more likely to have a low environmental impact.

Even though some of our suggestions exceed the recommended 1 kg CO2-equivalent per meal, that doesn't mean you should never make them; it's the overall balance that counts. Regularly eating a healthy and eco-friendly diet in the long term offsets even the dishes with the most impact, as long as you don't make them too often.
