How to make the recipe
Step 1 Preheat oven to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5
Step 2 Dollop each different Sacla’ Pesto onto separate pieces of kitchen paper to soak up excess oil
Step 3 Cut pastry into quarters and roll each one out, on a lightly floured surface, to make approx 16cm x 18cm rectangles
Step 4 Taking it right to the edges, spread 2 of the pastries with Sacla’ Basil Pesto and the others with Sacla’ Tomato Pesto
Step 5 Sprinkle cheddar and Parmesan over the pastries and lightly press down to make the cheese stick to Sacla’ Pesto
Step 6 Cut pastry into 1/2cm wide strips (mixtures hould make about 48 straws)
Step 7 Take a strip and twist each end in opposite directions until it is evenly twisted and repeat with all straws
Step 8 Lay straws on baking trays and brush plain part of pastries with beaten egg. Ensure straws are spaced well apart as they will expand whilst cooking
Step 9 If you have time, leave to chill for 30 minutes before baking Bake straws for 8-10 minutes until crisp and golden
