Gavin's Orecchiette With Basil Kale Pesto & Ricotta (Vg)

Option 1 Label: Serves 1

A Fresh Take on a Classic Italian Favourite

“This pesto is my way of keeping pasta both comforting and nourishing — I’ve added kale to the basil to give it a depth of flavour and goodness.” – Gavin

Gavin’s orecchiette pasta is tossed through a vibrant green pesto made with fresh basil and sautéed kale, lifted with garlic, then finished with Paesanella ricotta, crunchy toasted pepitas, and a sprinkle of aged parmesan. The “little ear” shape of orecchiette holds the pesto beautifully, giving you that perfect bite every time.

It’s the kind of dish that feels indulgent and wholesome, quick to heat, full of flavour, and made with the same care Gavin puts into meals at home for his family. Perfect hot for dinner, or just as delicious cold the next day for lunch, this pasta is a simple, satisfying way to enjoy real Italian cooking without the fuss.

FAQ's

You can absolutely enjoy it both ways. The basil kale pesto keeps its flavour when chilled, and the orecchiette holds its texture. Many customers love it hot for dinner, then cold the next day as an easy lunch.

The kale adds an earthy richness while boosting the nutritional value. It’s sautéed first to mellow the flavour, then blended with basil so you still get that classic freshness — just with extra depth and goodness.

Orecchiette, or “little ears,” is perfect for pesto. Its curved shape naturally cups the sauce, cheese, and pepitas so every forkful is full of flavour and texture.

    Delicious rum balls. Perfect size, flavour and texture. The pack comes with 6 rum balls and they are a good portion size each. Very yummy with premium ingredients and just enough rum flavour.
