Emma Still got that tub of pate lurking in the back of the fridge from Christmas, or are you just looking for something quick to make for a midweek dinner? Use leftover pate for a luxurious tasting but so easy to make meal.
We do like a slab of pate with some crusty bread in this house, but sometimes there is too much (I know, really, too much pate) and there’s a limit to how much I want to spoil the cats with some good paté. So if you have had enough of bread or crackers with paté, how about using the pate as the base of a pasta sauce?
Ingredients
- paté
- pasta
- onion
- butter
See the recipe card for quantities.
Instructions
Cook the pasta in a large pan of boiling water, as per the packet instructions.
When the pasta is almost cooked, scoop out a cup of the pasta cooking water and keep it aside.
Whilst the pasta is cooking, place the butter into a pan and sauté the onion.
Once soft, add the pate and stir until it is melted.
Add enough of the pasta coking water to make a coating sauce.
Toss the pasta in the pate sauce and serve immediately.
