Pesto Please

Fresh Pesto, Toasted Pine Nuts, Parmesan...
You can't go wrong really, can you?
This green 'salad' ALWAYS goes down a treat and is a perfect side dish to well, anything


I normally use a variety of small green veg, sugar snap peas, mange tout, green beans and tenderstem broccoli. I steam the whole lot and adorn in fresh pesto, i find Carluccio's do the best as i find the supermarket ones tend to be a bit bitter, whether this is because of them substituting pine nuts for cashews or just not using good olive oil, Carluccio's have hit the nail on the head. Cover the whole lot in toasted pine nuts and shavings of good parmesan.
