Instructions
For the basil lemon mocktail (makes 1)
- Place 4 basil leaves in a cocktail shaker. Add a pinch of sugar and use a muddler or wooden spoon to crush the leaves slightly.
- Add the tequila, lemon juice and egg white to the shaker and stir. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Fill a cocktail glass with crushed ice and strain the cocktail into the glass. Top with sparkling water and garnish with lemon slices and small basil leaves.
For the leek pasta
- Cook the pasta according to package directions and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water. Drain and then set aside.
- To a high sided frying pan add 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Turn to medium-low heat and add the chopped leeks and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the shallots and minced garlic and continue to cook until softened, about 5 more minutes.
- Stir in salt, dried thyme and chili flakes and cook until fragrant, about a minute or two.
- Add the cooked pasta to the pan along with 1 tbsp butter, 1/2 cup pasta water and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine until creamy or adjust with more pasta water. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired with more salt and pepper.
- Serve topped with fresh chives, lemon zest, ground pepper and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Notes
- Top with a delicious protein option of your choice.
- Don't want to use egg white in the mocktail, substitute with the same amount of aquafaba (the liquid from a can of chickpeas).
