Ingredients

3 servings
  • Green peas50 g
  • Pine nuts20 g, toasted
  • Parmasan cheese20 g, grated

  • Pasta4 ounces

Steps

  1. Tip the peas into a food processor, along with the pine nuts, Parmesan, basil and olive oil. Blitz until smooth. You may need to use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl a few times. It should be a really smooth consistency with no chunks of pine nut for babies.

  2. Cook the pasta according to the pack instructions, then stir through a little pesto. Babies should need about one teaspoon for a serving.

  3. Cover and keep the remaining pesto in the fridge for up to 3 days.
