Pete's Perfect Portion 3

Penne with Homemade Cashew Nut Pesto

I like to make sure there's always home made pesto in the fridge. It's a very versatile ingredient that lends itself perfectly to a rushed dinner. I heated it in a pan with a little extra virgin olive oil and then added some cooked penne pasta. Simple, quick and delicious.

The pesto was a mix of cashew nuts, basil and garlic whizzed in a food processor with sea salt, pepper, pecorino and plenty of extra virgin olive oil added at the end.
