Method

  • 1.
    To make testaroli, sift flour into a bowl with a pinch of salt. Gradually whisk in 2 3/4 cups (685ml) lukewarm water to form a smooth batter. Brush a 24cm crepe pan with 1 tsp oil and place over medium-high heat. Add 1 ladle of batter, swirling to form a thin crepe. Cook for 1-2 minutes, then flip and cook for a further 1 minute or until very light golden.
  • 2.
    Transfer to a board and repeat with remaining oil and batter to make 6 crepes. Cut crepes into thick ribbons. Set aside.
  • 3.
    For the pesto, using a mortar and pestle, pound garlic, anchovies and parsley to a paste. Add almonds and roughly crush, then stir through lemon juice, oil, and tomato. Season well.
  • 4.
    Blanch the testaroli in a saucepan of boiling salted water over high heat for 1 minute or until they start to float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towel.
  • 5.
    Toss the testaroli with pesto, then divide among plates. Serve topped with parmesan and micro parsley.
