Sometimes simple is the best, and that’s certainly true of this easy, nutritious dish. If you want it as a meal, I’d add some hemp seeds, sunflower seeds, and a bit of feta to get some protein in there.

I love, love, love pesto. It’s one of my favourite flavour profiles/condiments. If you love it as much as I do and want a quick, healthy meal. This is a must.
