Wow this looks and sounds incredible. I’m a huge fan of
pine nuts I am going to make
this tonight for dinner actually.
The red capsicum and tomatoes are also a great combination together.

How good does this look! Looks so creamy yet it’s not full of unhealthy cream. Yum, wish I had the machine to make the pasta!

Lots of little pops if colour in this pasta. I’m not a massive pesto fan though

I absolutely love this as a light, fresh pasta option. Sounds great to have hot or cold – I love that I can make it for a bbq salad, and any leftovers I can have the next day.
