Description
If you think pesto is only for basil, think again. Here, a pesto is made by processing cooked peas and broccoli with the usual ingredients (garlic, pine nuts, parmesan, and yes, basil) to a paste, then gradually blending in olive oil until thick and spreadable. You can use this in the same way as traditional basil, including as a topping for pasta, as in this recipe, which also includes sun-dried tomatoes and grilled courgettes plus some reserved peas and broccoli.
