Basil Pesto Konyaku Pasta 0 0 5 0

I created this recipe for the Allergy & Free From Show. Since no nuts are advised in the exhibition, I looked for an alternative to pine nuts, and I settled for this recipe which incorporates avocado and miso instead. Combined with the konyaku, these superfoods make it a really healthy recipe. Many visitors enjoyed these different flavours, and some asked me to put it on the website, so here it is!

I use a mix of half DRIED KONYAKU and half spaghetti, which works really well. The Konyaku brings an al dente texture as well as great health benefits. Of course you can change the proportions to whatever you like, have a try and find your favourite mix!
