🍝 Happy World Pasta Day

How good - we have a whole day dedicated to celebrating pasta because pasta is life 💕⁠ ⁠ So today let's talk about store bought Pesto vs Home-made?⁠ ⁠ It's no secret that I'd chose home-made any day! There are some great, high quality pesto's you can buy at stores, but most of the time they are padded with poor quality oils, cheese and other nasty stuff.⁠ ⁠ If you are buying store bought pesto, below are the thing I would look for 👇🏽⁠ ⁠ 💚 Olive oil only⁠ 💚 A high quantity of basil (so check ingredients, first ingredient is what there is most of in that jar)⁠ 💚 Preferably a pesto without whey powder and milk⁠ 💚 No sugar⁠ 💚 Avoid natural flavours⁠ ⁠ If you're keen to make you're own then BELOW is our recipe, and it's exactly how e make our Pesto that we sell as part of our Plantz Ready Meals @plantzreadymealswb⁠ ⁠ ⭐️ RECIPE ⭐️⁠ ⁠ 200 grams fresh basil⁠ 100 grams raw, baby spinach⁠ 1 clove garlic⁠ 1/2 teaspoon salt⁠ 1 tablespoon nutritional yeast ⁠ 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil ⁠ 1/4 cup raw pistachio nuts⁠ Water if needed (if you want less olive oil)⁠ ⁠
