coriander basil pesto (with quinoa, avocado, peas & pistachio salad)
Both my children have changed a little recently with the foods they like & don't like.... they still like most things, they have never been remotely fussy eaters, but I guess they're a little older now & possibly their taste buds are changing.
Pasta with pesto sauce is an all-time favourite though - which hopefully they'll never grow out of.
I did an Italian cookery course a couple of years ago & one day we made our own pesto, which of course was completely delicious & had us vowing we would never buy it in a shop
ever again! Of course, you can get some great pasta sauces in a jar but I honestly think there's nothing as good as homemade....and making your own pesto sauce is unbelievably easy.... if you've never tried it, you must!
