Our Top 3 Tasty Combos for The Sega Pasta System


Yesterday, we posted our recipe for The Sega Pasta System, in the first of our Sega-flavour Easter Eggspo recipes. As the recipe has over two hundred million different combinations, we thought we would give you a few pointers in this bonus post and tell you our top 3 delicious combinations that you can make and eat using the system.

3. The Healthy One

We love the fresh, light combination of roasted bell peppers, steamed broccoli, garlicky sauteed zucchini, baby spinach leaves and basil, stirred through cooked pasta, brought together with lemon juice & zest and good quality olive oil. Plenty of cracked black pepper and some grated Asiago cheese to finish the dish and you're good to go! This combination would be great for getting kids into the kitchen to teach them about cooking real food from scratch, a la Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution.


2. The One That Tastes Like Pizza

Everyone loves pizza, right? So who wouldn't want to eat pizza-flavour pasta?!
For this one, mix your pasta with pepperoni, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled cooked Italian sausage, mushrooms sauteed in garlic and fresh basil then mix in your marinara / spaghetti sauce, shred some mozzarella over the top and stir until the cheese starts to melt. Not quite as pious as the first dish, but healthier than take-out pizza and definitely delicious!

1. The Freaky Sicilian One

We eat this at least once a month at Mealtime Strategy Headquarters and it's the meal that led to the whole Sega Pasta System idea.
The traditional Sicilian flavour profile works so well and provides salty, sour, and sweet tastes in every mouthful. Take some toasted pine nuts, sultanas, capers and chopped sun-dried tomatoes and stir through your cooked pasta with a healthy dollop of pesto, then simply top with some shaved parmesan and toasted breadcrumbs. You'll thank us for this one later, so easy but so good!
