There is nothing more delightful in life than the lyrical tune of a fresh pesto on your tongue.

Just me? Even if it is I don’t mind & I’m still going to share this ridiculously speedy recipe….because I can!

Now shop bought pesto is absolutely fine, my only hesitancy being that they often contain huge amounts of salt & low quality oils, plus the non-dairy version can contain even weirder bits which I would prefer not to have.

But that’s by the by & on reading the below I hope I may encourage some of you to get blending & whipping up your own too!
