Easy basil & rocket pesto

Saturday, April 18, 2020

I love pesto- its so versatile and perfect for using in lots of different dishes. This one is super easy to make and really tasty too!


Since going into lockdown, I have been cooking loads.  What I make largely depends on what I have available in the fridge/ cupboard.  Thankfully I had all the things needed to make this pesto which is one of my favourite things.

I use it in loads of ways.  Its great in pasta or mixed into mayo to give it a bit of a kick.  

You wont believe how easy it is to make and once you try it, you won’t go back to shop bought!
