It’s always good to have pesto to hand. It can be stirred into pasta, drizzled over roast veggies, mixed with beans, used as a pizza base amongst many other things. I’ve found that often supermarket pesto contains a lot more oil than necessary, which is why I prefer to make it myself now. Thankfully, if you own a blender, it only takes a few minutes to make. I added rocket to my pesto to make it a little tangy and it tastes great!
