  • 0:35 m
  • 9 ingredients

On Fridays at BOSH! HQ we raid our fridge and see what we can make with all our leftovers from the week. This time we took some stale bread and created a pasta dish worthy of the Romans themselves. Creamy, lemony and fresh, this pasta couldn't be simpler and delivers lashings of flavour. We’ll also be using our Lomi home compost kitchen appliance to break down all our food waste in as little as four hours - turning it into Lomi earth; nutrient-rich plant food which you can use in your garden. It's a gadget you definitely need in your kitchen.
