Ingredients
Method
Cook the pasta, following the instructions on the packet. Cut the asparagus into smaller pieces.
Bring the stock to the boil and add the basil. Strain the soup and season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep the soup hot – it mustn’t boil, otherwise it will lose colour.
Poach the diced pollock in boiling, salted water for 1-2 minutes.
Distribute the spinach, asparagus, pasta, diced pollock and the hot soup between 10 preheated bowls.
Drizzle with lemon oil and serve immediately, possibly with warm bread.
Small Contribution. Big Impact.
The Staff Canteen has always been more than a website—it’s a community, built by and for hospitality. We share the wins, the challenges, the graft, and the inspiration that keeps kitchens alive.
We believe in staying open to everyone, but creating this content takes real resources. If you’ve ever found value here—whether it’s a recipe, an interview, or a laugh when you needed it most—consider giving just £3 to keep it going.
A little from you keeps this space free for all. Let’s keep lifting the industry, together.
