Fresh Homemade Pasta With Tapenade, Shallots & Black Olives 

(Any pasta can be used!)

  • Olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 jar of Islander's Kelp Tapenade
  • 2 shallots, finely diced
  • 60g black olives, pitted
  • 200g parmesan, grated

Start by finely chopping the garlic and shallots.

Cook the spaghetti in a pot of boiling salted water until al dente.

Strain and drain. Keep some of the cooking water.

Heat the oil in a pan, add the garlic and shallots and fry until it starts to colour.
