Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- A couple of large handfuls fresh basil
- 1 clove garlic, peeled
- 2 tbsp parmesan, finely grated
- 1 handful lightly toasted pine nuts

FOR THE PESTO
-
FOR THE VEGHETTI
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 courgettes, julienned
- 2 carrots, julienned
Method
- Place all the pesto ingredients in a food processor and blend into a thick, creamy consistency. Add more olive oil if required. Blend just enough so the pine nuts are still a little intact to add crunch to the pesto.
- Heat the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the courgettes and carrots and give them a stir, cooking for a couple of minutes.
- Stir the pesto in with the vegetables and coat fully. Cook for a further 2–3 minutes.
- Top with some more pine nuts, fresh basil and a little parmesan if desired.
