Red Pesto Lamb With Pasta (Oamc)

Submitted by English_Rose

"Red pesto has tomato and slightly less basil than the regular green pesto and is perfect for this recipe. If you like spaghetti bolognese you will also enjoy this red pesto lamb with pasta dish. The rich and tasty red pepper and tomato sauce makes a perfect partner to the ground lamb. If you want to cook ahead and freeze this dish then. Cool, cover and freeze in a freezer-proof container for up to 3 months. Defrost at room temperature. Tip into a saucepan, add a splash of water and reheat for 5-10 minutes until piping hot."
