Read recipe Close recipe ↗
What you’ll need 200 g dried fusilli or penne 4 tbsp Pass Me Summore Sundried Tomato Pesto 100 g cherry tomatoes, halved About 60 ml reserved pasta cooking water A few fresh basil leaves 1 tbsp grated parmesan, optional Salt for the pasta water; black pepper to taste
Let’s make it Cook the pasta in salted boiling water according to the packet instructions. Before draining, reserve a mug of cooking water. Put the pesto in a large bowl. Stir in 2 tbsp of the warm cooking water to loosen it. Add the hot drained pasta and cherry tomatoes. Toss well, adding a little more cooking water until the sauce coats the pasta. Finish with basil, black pepper and parmesan if using. Taste before adding any extra salt, then serve. A little Summore tip: Toss pesto through the pasta off the heat to keep its flavour fresh.

What you’ll need 2 cups cooked rice 1 cup finely chopped carrot, cabbage and green beans 2 tbsp Pass Me Summore Classic Schezwan Sauce 1 tbsp neutral cooking oil 1 garlic clove, finely chopped 2 spring onions, sliced 1 tsp soy sauce, optional Salt to taste
Let’s make it Heat the oil in a large pan or wok. Add the garlic and stir for about 30 seconds. Add the chopped vegetables and stir-fry for 3–4 minutes, keeping them slightly crisp. Add the cooked rice, Schezwan Sauce and soy sauce if using. Break up any rice clumps and toss until evenly coated and piping hot throughout. Taste before adding salt. Finish with spring onions and serve straight away. A little Summore tip: The 15-minute timing starts with already-cooked rice. Start with less sauce if you prefer a milder meal.

What you’ll need 4 small flour tortillas 1 cup cooked black beans or rajma, drained ½ cup cooked sweetcorn 100 g grated melting cheese 4 tbsp Pass Me Summore Fire-Roasted Mexican Salsa 2 tsp neutral cooking oil A lime wedge and chopped coriander, optional
Let’s make it Lightly mash the beans in a bowl and mix in the sweetcorn. Divide the bean mixture and cheese between two tortillas. Spread 1 tbsp salsa over each, then cover with the remaining tortillas. Heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook each quesadilla for about 2–3 minutes on each side until golden and the cheese has melted. Turn carefully with a broad spatula. Cut into wedges. Serve with the remaining salsa and a squeeze of lime or a little coriander if you like. A little Summore tip: Drain the beans well and keep the filling in a thin layer so the tortillas stay crisp.
