Peppery Peanut Coloured Conchiglie


I simply love this colourful conchiglie-sea shells pasta dish. The creamy black peppery peanut sauce naturally fills the shells while you are tossing them all together and coarsely cracked black peppers gives off a warm and spicy flavor and adds a depth to any dish. To give the whole pasta dish a little extra kick of fresh flavour, you might also sprinkle some fresh chopped basil leaves on the pasta.

  • 80 g Black peppered peanuts
    ©angiesrecipes

  • 1 Ripe tomato, chopped
  • 1 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 80 ml Water
  • 150 g Coloured conchiglie
  • 1 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 clove Garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Black peppercorns, coarsly cracked
  • Some basil leaves, chopped
  1. Place peppery peanuts, tomato, tomato paste and water In the container of your blender. Process until it becomes smooth.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook the conchiglie according to the packet. When pasta is cooked, drain.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the olive oil and stir-fry the minced garlic until aromatic. Pour the peanut puree into the pan and bring it to a boil. Season with salt and coarsely cracked black pepper. Add in the drained conchiglie and chopped basil leaves. Toss together.

maameemoomoo: thanks, and yes, it does have a touch of satay. :-) I really love the dish. And forum of my recipe site is just registration/log-in functional, so you might have to click the title to go back to main page to check all my recipes.
Hettar7: Any other savoury peanuts would work too...how about paprika flavour?
Thank you, my friends, for taking time to stop by and your kind words.
I wish you all a flavourful weekend!
