Pasta is an absolute staple in my diet as it can so easily made into a nutritious meal with a quick easy sauce such as this creamy and refreshing pesto.
Ingredients for 4
- 150ml yogurt
- 100g pecan nuts
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- handful of basil
- 100g spinach
- 120ml olive oil
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp of nutritional yeast (optional)
- Juice of half a lemon
- Drizzle of honey
Method
Pre heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and toast the pecan nuts for 5 minutes or until they start to turn a deep brown colour
To prepare the pesto, combine all the ingredients in a blender until you get a smooth thick sauce, it’s that simple!
To Serve
Serve with a pasta of your choice! (Wholegrain is a good option to increase your fibre intake).
I recommend serving with some toasted pine nuts and vine tomatoes or some grated Parmesan! Enjoy!
