Pasta, Pesto, Sausages and Chicken

Was looking through the cupboard to see what we needed to use before they expired and found this jar oPesto. So threw together some pasta and pesto with sausages and some cooked chicken that I had sitting in the freezer. This was ready in 15 minutes... No joke!! Love quick food!! 


I again kept knorr and cameroonian pepper to the side whilst making the dish, and boy they were needed!! Lol. I added the knorr and pepper and these improved the taste of the pasta immensely!! Recipe and More Pictures coming up!

P.S. Pesto is primarily made from Basil Leaves (aka Efinrin). The basil is blended with Olive Oil, Garlic, and Nuts. It's actually very easy to make Pesto, but don't quote me on that. I actually have never made it but I shall most definitely be making it soon and will post up the results.

P.P.S. Everyone should have dried/blended Cameroonian Pepper in their kitchen. It is amazing!! It is peppery (obviously!! Lol) and has a strong flavour... Try it and you'll never look back!

150g Pasta (Sphagetti, Macarooni, Any type of pasta really…)

  1. Where do we find Cameroonian pepper?

  2. I get my Cameroonian Pepper from Falomo market- from the women that sell vegetables and dried fish; my friend gets hers from Oyingbo market. I'm thinking that most of the vegetable/dried fish sellers in any market should have it.
