Pasta in Pesto sauce is adored by my daughters’ friends and you’ll have to fight tooth and nail for a taste if they’re around.
Blend a bunch of basil leaves, 8 to 10 toasted pine nuts, 5 to 6 cloves of garlic, 2 tsps of extra virgin olive oil and 2 tsps of grated parmesan cheese (or whichever is readily available) and add a bit of salt. Store in a container in the fridge. Lasts upto a week or so.
